THE NEW HEALTH PAPER.

By John Harvey Kellogg

“The Gospel of Health.”

For years we have felt the need of some medium by which we could more directly reach our people with instruction pertaining to health principles. From time to time physicians from our different sanitariums have visited a few of the leading camp-meetings, and the report has always been that the people were deeply interested in the subject presented, and were anxious to learn more.

Good Health circulates chiefly outside of our denomination, and for obvious reasons is not altogether a suitable medium for presenting many important questions relating to this subject as they should be presented to our people.

These and various other reasons have led to the development of a plan for the publication of a new paper expressly intended for circulation among Seventh-day Adventists as a medium of presenting the various phases of this subject, which is recognized as of increasing importance at the present time.

The editorial corps will include our leading physicians. The first number, which will appear early in January, will contain articles by Mrs. E. G. White, Dr. Kress, Dr. Paulson, Dr. Winnegar, and others.

The aim will be to make all articles in the journal short, practical, and to the point, just what people need to enable them to make a practical application of health principles to their personal habits and their home life. Mrs. Dr. Kress, Mrs. Kellogg, and others, will contribute articles relating to the care of children. A department will be devoted to instruction in simple methods of treatment, with special reference to Christian help work, and the home treatment of the sick.

The journal will be a sixteen-page monthly, same size as the Medical Missionary, and will be published at the small price of 40 cents a year, provided a subscription list of not less than five thousand can be obtained. It ought to find its way into every Seventh-day Adventist family. Subscriptions should be sent to the Good Health Publishing Co., Battle Creek, Mich., immediately. J. H. KELLOGG.
