“PLAIN FACTS FOR OLD AND YOUNG”
By F. E. Belden
of both sexes, is the name of a beautiful book by Dr. J. H. Kellogg, containing about 300 pages, including the 350 handsome illustrations in rose bronze ink. It treats the science of human life from infancy to old age. Beginning with a study of life and reproduction in plants, insects, and the lower animals, the subject is divested of all grossness, so that when the analysis of human life and reproduction is reached, it seems as pure a theme as God intended it to be. It gives parents the right words to use when instructing their children. Not one boy or girl in a thousand can be brought up in innocent ignorance. While parents are praying for them instead of teaching them, they are learning evil. Angels are not sent from heaven to do the work of father and mother. It reveals the alarming prevalence of vice among children and youth, tells how to prevent, detect, and break up bad habits. It shows that knowledge is a safeguard, and ignorance is death. It is a great scientific moral barrier to a great evil. It vitally concerns heart and home happiness. It contains chapters for girls, boys, young women, young men, wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, and old people, treating fully upon right and wrong practices in single and married life; effects being explained in 100 pages on special diseases of men and women, with 100 pages on general health topics, showing the true relation of dress, diet, exercise, etc., a special feature being the Home Gymnasium Department, with 120 illustrations on physical culture. About 300,000 copies of this book have been sold by subscription in its smaller form, without illustrations, which add greatly to its helpful, uplifting influence.

T. Jones says of the book, “It will do good, and only good.” Most of life's misery is in this question. It is fundamental, not secondary. Dr. Mary Wood-Allen, Supt. Purity Dept. World's W. C. T. U., examined and approved all publications in the Health and Purity Library before the list was made up, so that anything in it may be safely ordered in this age of impure literature; and at a discount to members.
