The Special Temperance Number of Life and Health

The second edition of the special Temperance number of Life and Health is being printed. The first edition of 25,000 copies was ordered out by the fifth of the month. The demand for this number is especially good.

What It Does

This number of Life and Health is devoted entirely to temperance. It meets a manifest demand in every community, and is convincing thousands of their personal responsibility in suppressing the liquor traffic.
It reveals to the general public some of the many unsuspected avenues through which the liquor habit is acquired.
It strikes a strong blow at the evils of the various intemperate practises, and is proving to be of great benefit in helping the public to discover some of the primary causes of alcoholism.
It emphasizes the fact that the diet has much to do with creating a thirst for alcoholic drinks.
It contains testimonials from those who have been enabled to break the craving for tobacco and wine through a vegetarian diet.
It prescribes dietetic and other treatments for the drink habit.
It impresses the importance and power of personal influence in battling against intemperate habits among men.
It strongly recommends, in addition to proper human agencies, the power of Christ, the Great Physician, as the best, surest, and most complete remedy for liquor and other narcotic habits.
It recounts the evidence of the discontinuance of alcohol in the practise of leading physicians, and their teachings and writings against its use as a medicine.
It cites conclusive evidence that liquor produces disease, crime, and poverty.
It teaches some of the cardinal principles of home temperance that will fortify boys and girls against temptation through life.
It contains good advice to mothers upon points that many regard as “small things.”
It gives the current comment on Milk and Alcohol in Medicine, Food Value of Alcohol, Alcohol as a Remedy in Disease, Science and Alcohol, Alcohol as a Depressant, Alcohol and Insanity, and Alcoholic Medicines.
It quotes statistics to demonstrate the destructive influence of ancestral alcoholism in the mental and physical degeneracy of children.
It recommends an educational campaign upon the true nature of alcohol as the surest remedy against its use.
It attributes the present extreme use of alcoholic drinks to the belief that they contain valuable nourishing elements.
It protests against the claim that alcohol is a food for tubercular patients.
It maintains that a reform in alcoholism is dependent upon a reform in the things that create a craving for a stimulant; forbidding the use of alcohol without removing the causes of its craving can not effect a reform.
It exposes the inconsistency of our government in licensing the liquor traffic, and then prescribing the teaching of temperance in our schools.
It hangs out a danger-signal for unsuspecting people, warning against patent medicines containing alcohol.
It presents important and practical information that the public needs at this particular time.
It will be an excellent seller, and will bring to the worker a liberal wage for his services.

The False Hope of a Second Probation

The New Edition of Seer of Patmos

The Review and Herald has brought out two new styles of binding of “Seer of Patmos:” half cloth, marbled edges, $1.25, and full cloth, marbled edges, $1.50.
This book contains an interesting story of the prophecies of the book of Revelation, written in simple narrative form, and presents a new side of the important messages recorded in John's prophecies, heretofore supposed to be the incomprehensible book of the Bible. It will be found to be interesting, instructive, and beneficial to all Bible students. It is nicely illustrated with original drawings especially prepared for the book. Being written in story form, it is especially attractive to the young.

Home and Health

Our New Home Manual of Health

“Home and Health” is a large health subscription book of 592 pages, filled with the most practical instruction, thoroughly illustrated, and designed for a home reference book upon the many details of home-making and the care of the health.
It embraces “The Home”—how to make it; “General Housekeeping”—all of its details; “The Diet”—what it should be; “The Care of the Body”—revealing the simple things one must do to keep the body healthy; “The Care and Training of Children”—sound common sense for parents; “The Home Treatment of Disease”—a valuable instructor, doctor, and nurse.
One who has examined the book carefully, says: “Wherever you may open the book, there is something very practical for the reader. Every page contains some bright, pithy points of value to all home-makers.”
The Review and Herald Publishing Association wants hundreds of agents for this excellent book, not those who are already employed in selling our other books successfully, but a great army of recruits. Hundreds of women are wanted who can most fittingly and enthusiastically represent the principles taught in “Home and Health” to their sister housekeepers who need it. Hundreds of men and women are wanted who have not yet had the courage to volunteer for the sale of other books,—men and women who will read the book and practise its teachings; and as a basis for all this, thousands of purchasers are wanted who will send for this book, and introduce its teachings into their homes and neighborhoods.
The book, bound in strong cloth, marbled edges, $2.50; in full law sheep, marbled edges, $3.50; full morocco, marbled edges, $4.50. After October 1 the prices will be raised to $3, cloth; $4, library; $5, morocco.
Orders for any publication mentioned on this page may be sent to any conference tract society, or to Review and Herald Publishing Association, Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C., or Battle Creek, Mich.
