HOME HAND-BOOK.

By Editor

CANVASSERS for this work are doing well in all parts of the country. Several excellent counties in California are yet vacant, and we recommend the business to any of our friends who may see fit to engage in it.

We do not wish to speak disparagingly of any, but may be permitted to state a fact. While in Portland, Oregon, we learned that Dr. Beard's book had been canvassed for in that city with excellent success. On the receipt of the Home Hand-Book the canvasser went over the same ground, and said that every one readily admitted that it is the best book, and would have taken it in preference to the other if they had not so recently taken the other. All are glad to "Get the best," and agents will see the necessity of immediate action if they would be successful.

We hope this notice may incite our brethren in Salem and Walla Walla to be diligent, and lose no time in getting canvassers into the field. Every aid will be rendered them at this office.

We are informed by the secretary who has this matter in charge, that our brethren have the best success with this work, for the evident reason that they take a deeper interest in it than do others. While the work is thoroughly scientific, so as to meet the approval of the best-read physicians, it also gives plain instruction in hygienics, so that it is eminently fitted for the households of those who are progressive on the health question. Our people best appreciate this fact, and are doing much to circulate it. And, fortunately, it is remunerative labor. They who have canvassed for it with energy, have found it highly profitable. Those who wish to engage in the work should correspond immediately with the Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal.
