THE MEDICAL MISSIONARY AND GOSPEL OF HEALTH FOR 1901
By Editor
The combination of the two journals, the Medical Missionary and the Gospel of Health, one year ago, created an organ prepared to represent in the fullest degree the work of the International Medical Missionary and Benevolent Association, and broadened the scope of each of the journals. A number of other important changes will be introduced. Several departments have been added to the journal, which, it is believed, will prove of great value to all who are interested in practical work for the betterment of their fellows. A number of well-known writers have been engaged to contribute to the columns of the journal, and several educational departments have been introduced, which will be conducted in connection with a Correspondence School. Inducements to Subscribers.—The inducements offered to subscribers to the Medical Missionary and Gospel of Health far exceed any ever before offered to subscribers by any other paper. A perusal of the following paragraphs will convince you of this:— GOOD REASONS WHY EVERY PERSON INTERESTED IN IMPROVING HIMSELF AND HIS HOME AND HIS NEIGHBOR AND NEIGHBOR'S HOME SHOULD SUBSCRIBE FOR THE MEDICAL MISSIONARY AND GOSPEL OF HEALTH

Every old subscriber to the Medical Missionary who sends with his renewal one new name, one dollar in all, is entitled to receive, gratis, in addition to the monthly visits of the journal, a family box containing one dollar's worth of choice health foods manufactured by the Battle Creek Sanitarium Food Company, and the Sanitas Nut Food Company. Each box will contain ½ lb. protose, ½ pound nut-tolene 1 pkg. granose biscuit, 1 pkg. granola, 1 pkg. caramel-cereal, ¼ lb. bromose, 1 Midwinter Good Health.
