An Excellent New Book

WE have received a review copy of Brother E. R. Palmer's new book, “Home and Health,” and can give our unqualified approval and recommendation of the work. It is a large work, containing 589 pages, and is filled from cover to cover with most helpful suggestions for all who are interested in home building and housekeeping. There is hardly a branch of domestic economy that is not thoroughly considered. The headings of the various sections into which the book is divided will give some idea of the scope of its contents: Section One, The Home; Section Two, General Housekeeping; Section Three, Diet; Section Four, Care of the Body; Section Five, The Care and Training of Children; Section Six, Home Treatment of Disease. All these sections are appropriately subdivided. For instance, General Housekeeping takes up, Cleanliness and Order, Sweeping and Dusting, Care of Floors, Living-Rooms, Sleeping-Rooms, Bath-Room and Toilet, Kitchen and Pantry, The Cellar, Care of Plumbing, Laundering, Removing Stains from Wash Goods, Clothes Cleaning, House Cleaning, Repairing Furniture, Fruit Washing, Pests, and Miscellaneous Recipes. Each of the other departments is equally well treated, and the housekeeper with such a book is well equipped for solving her domestic worries and performing her numberless tasks. Price, in cloth, marbled edges, $2.50; full law sheep, $3.50; full leather, $4.50. Order of the Review and Herald Publishing Company, or of the Pacific Press, Mountain View, Cal.
