Great Inducement to Canvassers for the Health Reformer.
By Publishers
THE publishers of the HEALTH REFORMER have prepared a new and greatly improved edition of the little work printed two years ago, entitled, “Household Manual.” The chief object of this publication is to encourage the circulation of the HEALTH REFORMER, the book being used as a premium with the REFORMER by agents of the Tract Society. The work is full of brief, but plain, concise, and practical hints respecting the care of the health, the avoidance of disease, and directions for the home treatment of common maladies. It also contains numerous useful recipes, together with full directions what to do in emergencies of all sorts, such as drowning, burning, poisoning, hemorrhage, and similar accidents. It is a work which will be almost invaluable in any family, and will be a very attractive inducement to subscribe for the journal. The general sale of the work will not be urged, as it has been prepared expressly for the missionary canvassing work. In order to encourage missionary workers to take hold of this matter with enthusiasm, the publishers of the HEALTH REFORMER make the very generous offer to supply the “Manual” at less than the actual cost of the work. It is neatly bound, is printed on good paper, and presents a very pleasing appearance. The retail price is 75 cents a copy. It will be furnished to societies in quantities of 500 and upwards at 20 cents a copy, which is considerably below the actual cost of the book. This offer is made only for the present, and it should be improved at once. New England has already ordered 1,000. It is important that orders should be sent in as soon as possible, as the work is now in press and it is very desirable to know how many will be wanted. Without doubt New York, Wisconsin, and Iowa could manage 1,000 copies each, profitably. Michigan will probably need double that number; while smaller societies will require quantities varying from 200 to 500 or more. Every effort is being made to get the books through as soon as possible, and they will be ready by Nov. 1. Orders should be sent in at once. Presidents and directors of T. and M. Societies should give this matter their prompt attention, as much of the success of the season’s work will depend upon the promptness with which the work is entered upon.
