HOME HAND-BOOK OF DOMESTIC HYGIENE.
By S. N. Haskell
WE wish to call the attention of the readers of the SIGNS, and our brethren in particular, to this work. It is now in press, and will be ready for delivery about the first of November. It is a book of over one thousand pages, illustrated by three hundred cuts, and twenty full-page plates, printed in colors. These illustrate the anatomy and physiology of the human system, showing its healthy condition, and also the deformities occasioned by the evils of improper dress. The various parasites found in the human system are shown, and the cause of the numerous diseases arising from foul odors; the proper methods of ventilation are also illustrated. We have never seen a work which would equal it in the variety of useful matter contained. The easy style in which it is written, and the entire absence of difficult medical terms so often found in such works, which common people cannot understand; and the manner of treating diseases with Nature's own remedies, is so simple that it makes it a book for every family desiring to learn how to get well and keep well. In short, it is a work for every one. Having taken an interest in these subjects, more or less for the last twenty-five years, and having examined the printed portions of this book, we do not hesitate to recommend it to any who have a desire for information on the subject of health. It should be in every family in the country. You cannot afford to be without it, especially when you consider that it is a duty we owe to God and to ourselves to "present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy, and acceptable to God." This we cannot understandingly do without a degree of knowledge upon this important subject. Had we no other recommendation for the work than our personal acquaintance with its author, J. H. Kellogg, M. D., we should believe it to be a work of merit. But the work speaks for itself. Arrangements have been made by the Pacific Press at Oakland for a general agency of the Pacific Coast. It will be sold exclusively by agents.
