Household Necessities

Books That Should Be in Every Home

MORE important to the family than many commodities usually held as indispensable are “Home Hand-Book,” “Man, the Masterpiece,” and “Ladies’ Guide.” These three volumes embody all the information essential in the proper care of the human body, and the home treatment of all the principal diseases to which men and women are subject. A thorough study of these health books will bring a great blessing into the homes of our people, and will qualify them for effective service in the homes of others.
In all communities men and women are struggling in the mist and fog of error. They need the principles of life. They will gladly purchase the books containing these principles, could we only properly reveal them in a simple exhibit of these books. Let all who do not have them order them at once, and receive for themselves the benefits of their teaching, and then go forth into their own neighborhoods with these publications that are “the entering wedge to the message” at this time.

Home Hand-book

This is a wonderful book. It is a strictly up-to-date work on medical science, and incorporates the results of the large experience of the author, Dr. J. H. Kellogg, during twenty-five years’ practice in the Battle Creek Sanitarium, where thousands of chronic invalids of all classes have been cured.
It outlines the best methods of curing disease and preserving the health, and adapts the remedies and the treatment prescribed to the circumstances usually found in the majority of homes. The treatments of over six hundred diseases are given, and an index of symptoms enables one to discover easily the nature of his disease, a feature possessed by no other book of its kind. It is worth many times its price to any family. The world appreciates it, and our people should. The Farm and Fireside says: “Here is a complete medical library in one volume, written for the people by one who has had abundant opportunity for observation and practice, and who has gathered and condensed into this work the latest investigations of our leading medical scientists. The whole book is exceedingly well written; and although we have seen numerous works of this kind, the one in hand is worth all the rest put together. It should be in every household in the land.”
It contains 1,690 large pages, 500 engravings, and 26 full-page colored plates, besides a paper manikin; and is substantially bound in five styles, ranging in price from $4.50 to $9, postpaid.

Man, the Masterpiece

“Man, the Masterpiece, or Plain Truths Plainly Told about Boyhood, Youth, and Manhood,” is a volume that should be read by every youth and man.
This book is “the masterpiece” of Dr. Kellogg’s works. No works on subjects pertaining to boyhood, youth, and manhood approach it in real merit.
We quote from those who occupy positions that especially qualify them to judge of the value of a book of this kind. Dr. C. F. Wilbur, superintendent of the institute for the feeble-minded, Kalamazoo, Mich., says: “‘Man, the Masterpiece,’ is a very valuable addition to a kind of literature that is much needed for the proper education of young men and women. Too little attention is paid by parents to placing in the way of children as they are growing up to manhood and womanhood, many facts and truths which have an important influence in their proper development, and too little effort is made to acquaint them with right living and the ways and means of avoiding the dangerous habits of youth. Dr. Kellogg has spent his life in a constant effort to cultivate the true principles of correct living, and I sincerely recommend this latest work as a most excellent book for the perusal of young people especially, who desire to live right and do right.”
Prof. J. Estabrook, A. M., D. D., late president of the Michigan State Normal School, says: “Pardon my long delay to acknowledge the receipt of your book, ‘Man, the Masterpiece.’ Since the close of the term I have had leisure for a careful examination. I regard it as one of the most valuable and most needed books that has come to my notice. You have treated the most delicate subjects in the most clear and delicate manner. The book ought to be in every house, and read and carefully studied by every parent and teacher. You strike at the very root of the greatest social and moral evils of the age. Multitudes will rise up, and call you blessed for the light you have thrown upon subjects of which the masses know but very little. I hope you will be abundantly rewarded for your earnest, faithful, and most valuable work.”
The book contains 600 octavo pages, with 30 full-page colored plates, and a dissected plate of the human body, showing the position of each important organ, and its relation to all other organs.
Bound in five substantial bindings. Prices range from $3 to $5.50, postpaid.

Ladies’ Guide

In Health and Disease

This book is a blessing to womankind. The chapters devoted to “The Little Girl,” “The Young Lady,” “The Wife,” and “The Mother,” are alone worth many times the price of the book, and are of sufficient importance to justify the assertion that no family should be without it. It is practical and reliable, and gives the very latest scientific investigations of the subjects treated. All directions are so simple, and the means to be employed in prescribed treatments so readily accessible, that in the majority of cases treatment can be successfully taken in the home without the aid of a physician. Many of the leading women in the country have freely expressed their appreciation of this book.
Mary A. Livermore says: “Very much of the feebleness and unwise methods of women, both as regards themselves and their daughters, is the result of ignorance. This work of Dr. Kellogg’s supplies the information which will tend to enlighten them. Thorough, scientific, practical, and clear in conception and utterance, I do not hesitate to recommend it as admirably suited to the remedy of the evils it exposes. Its author is a philanthropist, a physician, a reformer, a man of high moral character; and it is a matter for thankfulness that he has prepared this work.”
Addie Goodrich, a prominent W. C. T. U. worker, and one who knows the needs of women in this age, says: “For years I have wished that such a work might come before the public, contributed by one fully cognizant of the subject. I can but feel that the great Physician has led you to this work, and that it will prove a precious benefactor to the women of to-day. Ignorance is the mother of much suffering. God grant the many hours spent by the author in its preparation may bring sunshine into many lives and homes.”
Thousands of ladies who have purchased this book and followed its teachings have testified of benefits received from it. Over 60,000 volumes have been sold, and many thousands more should be sold as early as possible.
The book is fully illustrated, and substantially bound in five styles, ranging in price from $3 to $5.50, postpaid.
A thorough study of these health books will bring a great blessing into the homes of our people, and will qualify them for effective service in the homes of others.
