Midwinter Good Health.

By Editor

The Midwinter Good Health, 1901, bids fair to be the best number of the best health journal ever published. It will be an epitome of everything that goes to make up Good Health, and good health. In this one number you can find out why Good Health opposes the use of tea, coffee, meat, tobacco, and alcohol; why it advocates the use of water in the treatment of disease; why it takes radical and advanced ground on the question of diet; why, by following its directions and living up to its principles, you may live and prosper a hundred years—if you begin in time.
Besides this it offers a splendid array of special articles, of which the following are the most notable:—
An article by the editor, Dr. J. H. Kellogg, on “The Mystery of Life;” another about “Baths That Can Be Given in Private Homes.”
Article entitled a “Model Home,” by Dwight H. Perkins, a well-known architect of Chicago, illustrated by drawings of the model house, by the architect. Mr. Perkins will give special attention to the hygienic features of this house—the ventilation, heating, closets, etc.
Dr. Winfield Scott Hall, Ph. D., Junior Dean and Professor of Physiology in the Northwestern University Medical School of Chicago, will contribute an article entitled “Is Alcohol a Food?” Dr. Hall is recognized as an authority on this and kindred subjects, and whatever he says will command attention.
Mrs. E. E. Kellogg, who needs no introduction to our readers, being widely known and loved for her wise and helpful writings upon all topics relating to child culture, will contribute a paper on “Wholesome Merry Making.” Dr. Kate Lindsay, another old and valued friend, will write of “Common Diseases of Children in Winter,” giving from her ripe experience practical and explicit directions as to the treatment of these diseases.
“The Building of a Dress,” “Personality in Disease,” and “Diseases Common in Winter,” are other appropriate topics.
Dinah Sturgis will describe a beautiful “Maternity Dress,” with one of her charming illustrations.
Many of these articles will be illustrated, not for the sake of the illustration, but because the illustrations are of practical use.
Besides these technical features, there will be a wonderfully interesting article on “The Porto Ricans,” by Mrs. W. H. Howe, beautifully illustrated with half tones.
The frontispiece of this remarkable Midwinter Number is a reproduction of the famous painting by Farquharson, entitled “Leaving the Hills.”
Mary Henry Rossiter contributes a unique and original feature,—a poem entitled “A Cup of Tea.”
We have not mentioned the Editorials and the Answers to Correspondents, which form perhaps the most characteristic single feature of Good Health, and which alone are in one issue worth many times the subscription price, which is $1.
No pains has been spared in making this Midwinter Number the best and most appropriate number of Good Health that we have issued. Especial pains has been taken to prepare articles that will appeal to ministers, doctors, lawyers, professional and business men; and articles for the home that will be helpful to mothers.
