The October Number of Life and Health

THE October number of Life and Health is now ready. It is devoted especially to the physical, mental, and moral interests of children. With the beginning of the school year, it brings many valuable suggestions to parents on vital questions associated with the welfare of children. This number might appropriately be called “the children’s friend.” It contains 48 pages, with a new attractive cover design, and is nicely illustrated. In many respects, it is the best number ever published.
This number gives some of the many reasons why fruit is the best food in both health and sickness. It gives nine conclusive, scientific facts against the medicinal use of alcohol. It cites some of the many reasons why schools are the cause of bad health, and suggests remedies. It contains some hints upon proper recreation for students. It magnifies the importance of a physical education, as well as mental and moral development. It advocates the establishment of a systematic physical training in the youth. It recommends the method of educating by doing. It contains instructive comments upon such current themes as “Suggestions for the Teaching of Cleanliness among School Children,” “The School and Degeneracy,” “The Contracting of Scarlet Fever in Schools,” “The Importance of School Hygiene,” “Hygiene Taught in the Schools,” “Brain Development through Play,” “Education as a Preventive of Crime,” and “The Religious Education of Children.”
This number of Life and Health will bring to the general public some excellent thoughts upon the relationship between the parent and the child. A very practical department of Questions and Answers deals with the following topics: “Cause of Erysipelas,” “Is Gelatin Wholesome?” “Is Slippery Elm Nutritious?” “Diet in Rheumatism,” “Obesity, or Fatness,” “Rheumatism and Neuralgia,” etc.
The editor has given the readers of the October number of Life and Health many times the value of the paper in his editorials upon “The School Hygiene Congress,” “An Epidemic of Crime,” “How to Spoil Children,” “Resolutions of the American School Hygiene Association,” “The Proper Food for Babies,” “Unlawful Pleasures and the Consequent Reaction,” “Prohibition,” and “Medical Advertisements.”

New Prices

BEGINNING with the October number, Life and Health will contain 48 pages instead of 32. Each issue will be more fully illustrated, and other improvements in mechanical make-up and literary matter will be made. These improvements and the increase of cost of manufacturing make necessary a slight change in the prices, as follows: Single copy, 10 cents; 2 to 25 copies, 5 cents; 25 to 500 copies, 4 cents. Write for special prices on larger quantities.

Foreign Publications

THE last census of the United States gave the foreign-born population as over 10,000,000. These persons come from almost every country on the globe, but by far the largest part are from Europe. Many of them can not speak or read English, so we must give them the message in their mother tongue. Below will be found a partial list of such publications, which have hitherto been unobtainable in this country, but which can now be secured of the New York Branch of the Review and Herald Office:—

Home and Health

STILL the questions continue to multiply about “Home and Health,” and we again explain that this book is a new work of 592 pages, thoroughly illustrated, and designed especially for home reference on the many details pertaining to the home and the care of the body.
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.
After October 1, the retail prices of this book will be changed as follows: cloth, marbled edges, from $2.50 to $3.00; full law sheep, marbled edges, from $3.50 to $4.00; full morocco, marbled edges, from $4.50 to $5.00. This is an opportune time for all to secure the book at the old prices.

The New Edition of Seer of Patmos

THIS excellent work on the book of Revelation has recently been bound in two new styles, half cloth, marbled edges, $1.25; full cloth, marbled edges, $1.50. The new bindings will materially add to the appearance of the book.
“Seer of Patmos” contains an attractive story of the prophecies of the book of Revelation, written in simple narrative form, and presents the important messages recorded in John’s prophecies. It will be found to be interesting, instructive, and helpful to all Bible students. It is nicely illustrated, and being written in story form, it is especially attractive to all classes.

Report of the Mount Vernon Sabbath-School and Young People’s Convention

THE orders for the report of the Young People’s Convention are coming in nicely, and doubtless in the near future the entire edition will be exhausted. Those who intend to secure copies of the report of this convention would better do so at an early date, before the edition is entirely exhausted. The report will be very valuable to all who are interested in the Sabbath-school and young people’s work. It will really be a textbook for this department during the coming year. The report contains the essential parts of the papers presented at the convention, the discussions and the various subjects considered, and the full resolutions passed during the convention. Price, 10 cents a copy.
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.; 32 Union Square, East, New York; or Battle Creek, Mich.
