To The Editor of The Tribune:


You have with your accustomed generosity, published
Mr. Metcas Prospectus OF Health Journal and Water
Cure Advocate, which he proposes publish under my
editorial charge; and you have commended the work to
the patronage OF the public Will you suffer to say
few words to the public through the same ex'
tended medium


about eight years since the earnest friends OF
the cause to which have consecrated myself began to
importune to publish periodical as popular me-
dunn of communicating extensively to the people sucn
instruction they wished me to give. But while have
fully appreciated the force of the appeals that have been
made to me- and considered that the publication asked
for was greatly needed have felt that paramount duties
pressed upon me- which could not be performed to the
hest of nv ability If my attention in any manner di
varted 70 other efforts and from this consideration
have hitherto resisted the opportunities Whicn nave
spoken OF. :.


During the past summer these opportunities were in
creased with much energy. For II long time have
wthstood them; but atleugth-perhaps In wesRness-l
so far yielded To consent 10 the issuing OF fros-
pectus Yet will frankly confess that old so with the
secret hope that way OF escape from the dreaded
responsibility would be opened to me-ether mat SUI
fcen number of subscribers could not be obtained or
that could make arrangements to have most oil the ID
bor and care of the undertaking devove on some one
else But my surprise and distress ma nyse!i IN
the condition the Jews between the REQ sea nnd the
Epypsn army-with seemingly impassabe difficulties
before me- and irresistible @rce behind cutting on


nv retreat The of subscribers have been sent In
from every part OF the United Sates-even from thc lar
South and West-and many OF them with ierVent eNc
uressions of Joy at the approaching consumnhtlon oi
their wishes In this matter and Mr. Metcali mas, Tor
two or three weeks past constantly and earnestly urged
me for matter for The first number But have fe!t
Obliged TO put him Off that might first clear my hsnds
of other abors which feel bound accomplish as soon
as possible. wish therefore say to the public every
where through your ubiquitous medium that the fat OF
the delay lies my door and will remove as quickly
possible And they may be assured that neither ndo-
snce seltseekng shall detan from serving then
They also be assured that Mr. Metcaf is RESPONSE
bic and righteous man, and will not commence any
thing which he will carry through. If he publishes
the first number he will publish all the numbers Tor
wear: and he wishes send money till the hrst
number is received 1t is however desirable that all
who intend to take the Journal should send their
before the first number is printed that we may PRINT
enough To supply the want otherwise there may be in
convenience and perhaps derment late subscribers
Yours truly 5. GRAHAM.
