Improved “Life and Health”

By Editor

THE health interests of Seventh-day Adventists date back to the very beginning of this movement. The founders of our work were identified with a propaganda of health principles which has become of world importance in its scope and meaning.

One of the features of this health propaganda has been the establishment of a score or more of leading health institutions in this country, and as many more abroad. These all follow the same method of rational treatment.

Sensible reform measures, advocated a half century or more ago, and generally indorsed by popular acceptance today, bear witness to the value of these health principles. In bringing these principles to the attention of the world, Life and Health is the chief exponent.

An editorial staff is being formed with a view of making Life and Health more definitely a medium of the organized health and temperance movement back of it. Dr. H. W. Miller, who will be the editor, is the secretary of the North American Division Conference Medical Department, and is a thorough student and an ardent advocate of rational and simple living. The present editors will remain on the staff, to give their fullest coöperation in making Life and Health the truest, sanest, and best health journal published.

Beginning with the February issue, Life and Health will bear the subtitle “How to Live.” This is significant of a noteworthy change in the scope of the magazine, which it is trusted will meet the hearty approval of all its readers.

During the remainder of 1917 it is planned to devote each issue largely to a symposium on one health topic, the following being already planned: “The Cost of Living,” “The Daily Program,” “Home Treatment,” “Rational Diet,” “Rest and Sleep,” “Outdoors and Exercise,” “Gospel of Health,” “Temperance,” “Stimulants and Narcotics,” “Patent Medicines.”

By this improvement Life and Health will be the voice of the health movement, which has been termed “the entering wedge” of present truth. As such, all Seventh-day Adventists should give the journal their hearty support. Not only are individual subscriptions desired, but are there not hundreds and thousands who would esteem it a privilege to see that those in their vicinity have the benefit of these health principles, by taking them Life and Health each month?

The subject matter of each issue will deal so directly with the health problems which concern every individual, that any one would receive help entirely out of proportion to the small cost of the magazine.

The rates on Life and Health, either annual subscription or prices in quantities, have not been increased. They still remain:—
