MARCH COLDS

March is the month for colds. It seems that every one has them, and they range in severity from the troublesome stuffy cold in the head, from which there is seemingly only the inconvenience of muddled thoughts, to an attack of the genuine grip, which causes every bone and muscle in the body to cry out in distress. March is the month for colds because it is the month when the weather begins to break up, and every one is naturally careless.

We have grown to look lightly upon a cold as something which one can scarcely expect to avoid—a necessary evil—which, when contracted, must be allowed to “wear itself out.” Few are aware of the short step there is from a slight cold to pneumonia, and perhaps none of us stop to think that every cold which one has weakens the body’s resistive powers to some degree, and offers a foothold to some disease of a more serious nature.

We need to know more about colds to recognize their dangers and to be better prepared to resist them. It is to provide just such information that the book, “Colds: Their Cause, Prevention, and Cure,” has been prepared by Dr. G. H. Heald, the editor of LIFE AND HEALTH. It contains all essential points in a nut-shell, compactly presented in a volume which you can put in your pocket, and which it will take only a few hours, at the most, for you to read. You should read it yourself, and then have the copy conveniently at hand to pass on to your friend this month when he is suffering with a cold or coming down with the grip.

In white leatherette, with title stamped in brown, the price is only 25 cents. Order from your Tract Society or direct from the Review and Herald Publishing Association.

TWO STRONG BOOKS

If we, as Seventh-day Adventists, believe in the soon coming of the Lord as fervently as we should, every means should be taken to present this truth to others, and in no way can we do it more effectively than through circulating such books as “The Story of Daniel the Prophet,” and “The Story of the Seer of Patmos,” by Elder S. N. Haskell. Exposition of the prophecies in Daniel and The Revelation is given in these words in a most felicitous manner. The books are devoted to a pleasing and fascinating study and discussion of the prophecies. In these books the prophecies are presented in such a manner that they may be readily understood by the fifteen-year-old boy or girl as well as by much older persons.

By this it should not be understood that they are juvenile books, for they are no more so than the Bible itself. They are books which are equally attractive for old and young.

If you have not read “The Story of Daniel” or “The Seer of Patmos,” get them now and begin to do so at once. If you can borrow them from your neighbor, it will be well for you to do so, and after you have read them, we know you will want them in your own library to consult and pass on to others as opportunity affords.

The “Story of Daniel the Prophet” is sold at the three prices, $1.00, $1.25, and $1.50, in plain, half cloth, and full cloth bindings respectively. The same prices apply with “The Seer of Patmos.” Both books are handsomely illustrated. Order through your Tract Society or direct from the Review and Herald Publishing Association.

JUST OUT

A new book entitled “Temperance Torchlights.” The most practical, helpful book on the subject of temperance. Millions of lives have been cursed and many homes made sad by the demon intemperance. This book will be a great assistance to temperance workers. This is a very opportune time to place such a book in the hands of your friends and neighbors, and thus show them that you are interested in doing what you can as an advocate of the principles of true temperance. It is a splendid book to place in the hands of the members of the W. C. T. U. and other temperance organizations. It contains 256 pages. Bound in cloth, it is sent, post-paid, for only 50 cents. Both young and old will enjoy reading this interesting book.

WITH THE WORKERS

There are thousands of people who at the present time know nothing whatever of the REVIEW, who would appreciate it just as much as the person mentioned in the following statement, could they only know its real value:—

“Enclosed please find check for 90 cents to pay for six months’ subscription to the REVIEW for Mrs. ——. This lady has been reading the REVIEW for the past two months, and is delighted with it. She says she can not be without it.”

The following statement, just received, shows the power the PROTESTANT MAGAZINE has in claiming the attention of the people:—

“Your PROTESTANT MAGAZINE for the third quarter being handed me to read a few days ago, I came to the conclusion I must secure it for the coming year. If your fourth quarter issue is a continuation of the same subject as in the third quarter’s issue, please commence my subscription with it. Enclosed find 25 cents in stamps.”

The following demonstrates the selling qualities of LIFE AND HEALTH, the kind of grit required in the work, and the liberal remuneration for this kind of missionary work: “I worked Wednesday and sold 155 copies of LIFE AND HEALTH. I sold the remaining 45 Thursday in the forenoon. Enclosed you will please find money-order for $8 to pay for the 200 papers. Although many said, ‘Times are hard, we can not buy,’ I did not get discouraged, but kept right to work until I had sold them all.”
