"Good Health" for 1885.
By Editor
THE January number of Good Health is at hand. We notice a change in the style of the cover which gives the journal a brighter appearance. It contains the usual amount of valuable information, besides eighteen pages of extra matter which give a full description of the new Sanitarium building, and a full report of the dedicatory exercises. This excellent journal has been a zealous exponent of hygienic reforms for nearly twenty years. The high standard it has steadily maintained from the first, has won for it many friends, and brought it a larger patronage than any other journal of its class enjoys. It is indeed well adapted to the wants of the people, being thoroughly scientific, so as to command respect, and yet sufficiently untechnical to be within the easy comprehension of all intelligent persons. More, and able writers are engaged for the coming year, whose contributions to the journal will greatly enhance its value. Mrs. Ames, of Brooklyn, New York, who, under her nom de plume of Eleanor Kirk, will contribute a serial health story entitled, "A Troubler in Israel." This will present in an interesting way the leading points essential to a healthy home, and the maintenance of a healthy body—facts that everybody ought to know. Dr. Kate Lindsay, of the Battle Creek Sanitarium, will contribute several articles on "Nursing" and "The Early Care of Children." Every mother ought to read these. Dr. Anna H. Stewart, also of the Sanitarium, will contribute three papers on the subject of "Massage," a valuable remedial means that is fast coming into use in health institutions. No person can well afford to be without a knowledge of this useful art. Elder J. H. Waggoner, of Oakland, Cal., is expected to favor the readers of Good Health with a series of articles on the subject of "Health from the Bible Standpoint." Elder Waggoner is one of the pioneers in the health movement, and from the first has given special study to the subject of Bible hygiene. The importance of this branch of the health question requires no emphasis; and those who read this writer's productions, will feel sure of a feast of good and original thoughts in the perusal of his articles. A new department appears with the January number, which will add largely to the practical usefulness of the journal. This, under the head of "Science in the Household," will be conducted by Mrs. E. E. Kellogg. Each number of this department will contain choice recipes for healthful cookery, also practical suggestions about housekeeping that are invaluable. The editor, in addition to his usual contributions, designs to give a series of popular health talks, on the following topics: Digestion, Foods, Ventilation, Healthful Homes, etc. The price of the journal is only one dollar a year, specimen copies of which will be furnished on application.
