“Life and Health”

A Friend-Making Missionary and a Full-Message “Entering-Wedge”

A SPECIAL MOTHERS’ NUMBER

Some of the Topics Treated in this Issue

Dr. Lauretta Kress begins her series of treatments for the most common diseases, with important detailed instructions to young mothers in the proper care of the new-born babe.

Mrs. E. G. White presents “The Mother’s Sacred Charge” in properly caring for the children entrusted to her.

Mrs. Fitch enlarges upon “The Mother’s Privilege” in training children for useful lives.

Mrs. Wilcox offers suggestions to mothers upon providing proper entertainment for the young.

Dr. Heald presents some vital questions for parents to answer, among which are some that pertain to the common practises of parents, practises that are regarded as harmless, but which are shown to materially injure the children.

“A Mother” takes up “The Punishment of Children,” under the headings of “Foundation Principles,” “Rebuke not Hastily,” “Angry Punishment not Discipline.”

Nannie Bauchamp Jones treats the subject of “Woman’s Place in the Home” in a comparison of the homes of two couples who started out in life equally and under similar circumstances.

Judge Ben. B. Lindsey sets forth the value of teaching the child to properly respect honorable labor.

Dr. Kress interprets the meaning of “Temperance” in its broad sense, including not only abstinence from alcoholic beverages, but complete self-control over the carnal desires, appetite, and impulses. He quotes from Sir James Ferguson, Dr. James Wood, Dr. Bock, the “British Medical Journal,” Dr. James Fraser, and others on the injurious effects of cocoa, tea, and coffee.

Dr. Knopf, a tuberculosis expert, continues his valuable series on the life-giving properties of fresh air, giving detailed instructions for the attaching of a window-tent in any home for the use of those strongly predisposed to tuberculosis, or who may have a desire to sleep in the open air for its general benefits.

The editor calls attention to the dangers of medical legislation in creating laws that will give a complete monopoly to the profession in the performing of any act in relieving human suffering.

The Current Comment Department is filled with excellent matter upon the following topics: The Saloon on the Defensive; The Young Child and the School; Artificial Childlessness and Race Suicide; The Young Men of the Twentieth Century; Total Abstinence in a Great Chicago Store; Abolish the Slums; The Rat and the Plague; Exterminate the Rat; The Physician as an Educator.

The News Notes are from the best authorities, upon Free Tuberculosis Dispensaries; Plagues in Australia; Anti-Rat Society in England; The Plague Situation in San Francisco; Physicians Discuss the Causation of Typhoid; Many Ill from Cheese Poisoning; Sanitary Conference; Milk in Unsanitary Stores; Alcoholic Prescriptions Barred; Railroad Company Enforcing Decree against Drink; Killed by a Heavily Charged Idea; Dr. Wiley on Poisons; Effect of Mind on Body; Health Restored by Singing; Cocain Bill Passed.

The entire number is replete with the most practical and timely instruction.
