A Good Health Journal

By L. A. H.

It is unnecessary to say anything about the merits of our excellent health magazine, Life and Health, to those who are readers of it. One is rendering a good service to those who are not acquainted with the magazine to call their attention to it in such a way that they will become readers of it. This magazine is one of those that one cannot well afford to do without. It gives help rather than calls for it.

The January number of the new volume is a good sample of the regular issues of the magazine, dealing with topics of current interest and need. The leading feature is a symposium on “What I Know About Reducing the Cost of Living,” including seven good articles by as many writers, and a most practical editorial on the subject. The article on “The Danger of Amateur Doctoring” is good. The current issue begins a series of twelve articles on “Healthful Cookery,” by George E. Cornforth. The first article presents menus for a week in January, with eighteen recipes for various dishes called for in the menus.

In the department of Questions and Answers, help is offered to the subscriber either by personal reply through the mails or by a general reply in this department to any queries on health.

An up-to-date News Notes department presents short items of interest that help to keep the reader intelligent on the progress of health, hygiene, and medical missionary work.

The Editorial department also gives attention to subjects of timely interest, and is characterized by a comprehensive but discriminating selection of what is really worth while, together with a liberality of discussion that avoids narrow views or extreme positions. The magazine is living up to its aim, “To assist in the physical, mental, and moral uplift of humanity through the individual and the home.”

We can consistently and conscientiously urge this journal on the attention of those who are not reading it. Those who are making up their list of reading matter for the coming year should include Life and Health, the National Health Magazine. It is only one dollar for the year.
