Life and Health for January

THIS number of Life and Health is now ready, and is filled with that which practising physicians consider most essential for the public at this season of the year. It deals principally with the diseases most prevalent during the cold season, and dwells particularly upon colds and the diseases resulting from them. It will bring some very practical instruction presented by experienced writers. Something of the nature of this number may be obtained from the following outline of contents:—

“Influenza and Its Rational Treatment.” A very common disease, not of itself generally fatal, but paves the way for fatal diseases, such as pneumonia and tuberculosis.

“Health,”—man’s greatest possession, yet generally jeopardized through lack of the simple knowledge of the science of hygiene and sanitary living.

Dr. Leadsworth, in his “consulting-room experiences,” prescribes detailed treatment for persons who have a constant tendency to catch cold,—these continued colds that interfere with the normal functions of the body, and lay the foundation for pneumonia, bronchitis, typhoid fever, and a long list of other serious diseases.

Mrs. Bainbridge, in a few paragraphs, presents the power of peace in healing. Few realize the power of the mind over the body, but Christ, the Great Physician, knowing the interrelation of the mind and body, gave us his message of peace as one important factor in the restoration and preservation of man.

Mrs. Fitch, who is a recognized practical, hygienic cook, gives in this number twelve seasonable recipes, every one of which has been tested and generally liked.

“Cold Weather Hints to Mothers” may save many babies and children from chronic diseases and untimely graves.

Mrs. Wilcox favors the girls with a talk on “Thin Waists for January,”—often causing poor health and resulting in fatal diseases.

Dr. Lauretta Kress, of the Washington Sanitarium, gives the readers the benefit of the sanitarium home treatment for a cold. This one article is worth far more than the price of the journal for a full year.

The Current Comment Department is replete with good thoughts and valuable suggestions associated with the discussion of such subjects as: The Indoor Habit; Open-Air Treatment of Pneumonia; Treatment of Colds; Overcoats and Health; The Plague; The Rat and Disease; Bubonic Plague; Temperance Instruction; Intercollegiate Athletics; What Happens When You Smoke; Viavi Treatment; Cause of Alcoholism; A Laboratory Doctor; Better Days Coming, etc.

The editor has given some excellent thoughts upon The Early Treatment of a Cold; Sunlight for Consumptives; The Bubonic Plague in San Francisco; Pneumonia from Mice; Drugs and Disease, etc.
