The Health Reformer.

By R. F. Cottrell

In view of the benefits of health reform to all who have been instructed in its principles, and have reduced them to practice, we cannot be indifferent to the interests of this paper; but should do all in our power to make it what it should be, and to extend its circulation. All our people should receive its benefits, which are by no means small.

The health of the body, considered by itself alone, is worthy of our earnest efforts, and of all the self-denial that is necessary to make the change from the false to the true and healthful mode of living. But the benefit does not stop here. The mind is so dependent upon the body, that the spiritual blessings flowing from health reform are of even greater importance. Those who would be fitted to stand the trial of our faith when trouble and persecution shall arise, as they surely will, will need the priceless benefits now offered us in the health reform. And not acting selfishly in this matter, we wish all to have the same benefits, both physical and spiritual, and therefore must be interested that the light of this reform should be placed in the reach of all. Many will be the persons saved by the last message, who will be brought to the light by first becoming interested in the teachings of the Health Reformer.

Therefore I would counsel our people to take the Health Reformer, read it, practice its teachings, encourage it in every sense, and extend its circulation by soliciting others to subscribe. If we act in unison with its editor, we shall have the best health journal in the land, and do a great amount of good to others.
