Family Health Annual

Family Health Annual.

THE fruits of the previous editions of the ANNUAL have been such as to show most conclusively that it is one of the most useful publications that can be circulated. It acts as an entering wedge, a preparation for other reformatory works. Unlike many philanthropic enterprises the circulation of the ANNUAL can be made not only self-sustaining but lucrative. The rates at which they are furnished are so low that missionary societies can easily double the money invested in them by proper management.

Most of the T. and M. Societies are getting at work in good season this year, evidently with the intention of doing more energetic and effective work than ever before. The whole number of ANNUALS ordered to date is 71,850. The number of copies taken by the several societies that have ordered, we give in the table below. Some societies have not ordered yet, but will doubtless do so soon, and several that have sent one order will probably wish to order again, as their number this year is so far below that which they circulated last year.

Iowa and Nebraska, 3,900 Indiana, 2,100 Illinois, 5,700 Maine, 3,500 Michigan, 17,700 New England, 10,000 New York, 11,000 Ohio, 2,000 Vermont, 5,000 Wisconsin, 10,000 Missouri, 300 Ontario, 650
