Life and Health for March

“The people are in sad need of the light shining from the pages of our health and temperance journals. God desires to use these as a medium through which flashes of light shall arrest the attention of the people and cause them to heed the warning of the message of the third angel.” —MRS. E. G. WHITE.

This number of Life and Health has so many excellent features that it is difficult to decide which should receive particular mention. Of the general articles note the following:—

Dr. J. R. Leadsworth traces an interesting case of Self-poisoning. Dr. D. H. Kress considers further the Cause and Rational Treatment of Cancer. Mr. Cornforth’s Cooking Lesson on Soups tells how to make palatable and nourishing soups without meat.

Dr. W. A. George begins a series, Home Treatments for Common Diseases, giving specific directions for treating sprained ankle, bruises, severe burns, and other common ailments.

A new department, Home Acre, has valuable hints on planning a home.

The Medical Missionary department is filled with reports from India, Korea, Argentina, and Palestine.

The departments of Medical Forum, Abstracts, and Current Comment have timely, condensed articles on such vital questions as: The Early Recognition of Tuberculosis, Physicians and the Anti-Rum Crusade, The Results of Inefficient Care of the Teeth, The Effects of Alcoholic Liquors on Schoolchildren, Cancer a Dietetic Disease, School Gardens, and Tuberculosis and the Child.

Some are following up the work begun with the special number of the REVIEW, by going to the same persons with Life and Health. Already thousands of copies have been ordered for this work alone. There are many persons yet to be heard from. Notice these extracts from letters:—

No. 1, From Indiana

“Enclosed find one dollar (money-order), for which send me twenty-five copies of Life and Health. I have sold the copies recently sent me. I am about seventy-six years old, and can not do much actively, still I do.”

No. 2, From Michigan

“We received the twelve copies of Life and Health. They are all sold but two, and these are spoken for. Have done as well as we expected in this place. Think we can sell twenty-five copies of the March number.”

No. 3, From Indiana

“We received the twenty-five copies of Life and Health, and they are all sold. Some were afraid there was Adventism in them, but we think we did very well, and you may send us twenty-five of the next number if you will.”

No. 4, From Florida

“Magazines received, and disposed of. You will please find enclosed money-order for one dollar. Kindly mail me five copies more. I would have sent for twenty-five copies, but have some of the February Watchman to sell. The last of February you will please mail me twenty-five copies of the March number of Life and Health.”

No. 5, From Iowa

“Find enclosed one dollar, to pay for the twenty-five copies of Life and Health. I would like to have twenty-five copies of the March number. I do not have much time that is not crowded full of home duties, as there are six in my family, and I do all my own work, and help my mother with hers; nevertheless, I do want to do all the missionary work I can. I went out with the papers one day, and sold ten copies.”

No. 6, From Georgia

“Enclosed find money-order, for which please send one hundred copies of Life and Health. Your letter was received yesterday, and the papers the day previous. The letter was a source of help and encouragement to me. Just after reading it, my father said he had been unexpectedly called to ——, about four miles distant, and that I might go with him and try to sell my papers. At first, I thought it would be of no use to take all the papers, as —— is not a large town; but I decided to take them all. I had little preparation. I read the paper through the day before, and knew what it contained, and the help you sent me I studied along the way. I sold my papers (thirty) in one hour and fifteen minutes, and really ought to have had more. The Lord wonderfully blessed me. I am sure that by God’s help I can earn my way through school, and perhaps money enough to take my brother to school. He must work and help earn the living, and can not go out to work for himself. Please send the papers as soon as possible, as I am waiting for them.”

Remember, Life and Health is now a 64-page magazine, and the price is $1 a year; 2 to 25 copies, 5 cents each; 25 to 500 copies, 4 cents; special rates on larger quantities.
