Several portions of the collection, which have been long in keeping, are at last given places, having been for various reasons unavailable for use in his other books; and a reversal of opinion as tomerit has brought into the volume certain pieces which had been consigned to the scrap book. The chapters entitled Little Helps to Health appeared as a serial, and were prepared hastily and with no other purpose than of serving the present need. A word should be said in extenuation of their frivolous passages, The manager of the publication instructed the author that he should incorporate as much humor as possible in the subjects as sweetening for what he termed the dose, but as they did not of themselves admit of much levity, the course was employed of introducing ready-made medical squibs and jokes, appropriating them from all convenient sources. An inclination to eliminate these undignified sections has been resisted on the grounds that they have to do with the general topic under consideration, and render, perhaps, a flavor of uniqueness to the prosy character of the chapters. The poem Catharine was printed many years ago in the New York Pioneer, a temperance paper which long since ceased to exist.
