The March issue is very practical. The article on Colds is worth more than the price of the journal. The instruction on the Prevention of Influenza is especially timely, and will prove very helpful at this season of the year.

Mrs. White's article on General Hygiene contains instruction that ought to reach every home.

March is a hard month; but Life and Health will contain directions that will pilot people safely through the diseases prevalent during this season of the year. It will be the easiest number to sell yet published.

Back Numbers

The demand for Life and Health for the past five months has been so great that the liberal editions printed have been entirely exhausted. The November, January, and February editions are entirely out. Only a few copies of the December and September remain.

Our special offer to give the November and December numbers free with every new subscription for 1905 is, therefore, discontinued. All new subscriptions will begin with the March number until that edition is exhausted.

Life and Health is furnished at the following rates: 25 or more copies, one order, to one address, 2½ cents a copy, post-paid; less than 25 copies, one order, 3 cents each; 10 or more copies one year, to one address, 30 cents a copy. Regular subscription price, 50 cents a year. Forty per cent discount is given to agents. AGENTS MAKE GOOD SALARY HANDLING LIFE AND HEALTH.

An Appeal to Clergy

320,000 Ordered February 22

In one month and three days “An Appeal to Clergy,” in tract form, has reached the 320,000 mark; and still the orders continue to come in from individuals for hundreds and thousands, and from churches, tract societies, and publishing houses for tens of thousands.

When “An Appeal to Clergy” was first printed, the Washington Post circulated 33,000 copies, and the Washington Star, 32,000. The REVIEW printed it, and sent out 16,000 copies. The Religious Liberty Bureau printed and sent out 10,000 copies, making in all, with the 320,000 in tract form, 411,000 copies of this appeal sent out from Washington since the first of the year. In addition to this, many local papers in various parts of the country have copied it, and published it to the extent of their circulation. The million mark will be reached at an early date. The people have a mind to work, and the Lord will add his blessing to this effort.

The best Sabbath sermon ever preached can be given to the people for less than ½ cent each, the cost of the tracts being 40 cents a hundred, or $3.75 a thousand.
