Important Work.

By Editor

THE first of the series of pamphlets entitled, "Health; or How to Live," is now ready. We wish to call the attention of the brethren everywhere to these works, prepared with especial care, on the important subject of a reform in our manners of life, which is greatly needed, and as we view it, will surely be accomplished in whatever people find themselves at last prepared for translation. The series will consist of five pamphlets of 64 pp. each. Price $1, post-paid.

Number One, contains the following: 1. "The Ladder with eight Rounds, or Bible Sanctification;" the substance of a discourse by Bro. White, showing the important part that temperance in food and drink, occupies in the work of sanctification. 2. Our Home, or Three Weeks at Dansville, N. Y., an account of the visit of Bro. and sister White to that place, with what they saw, heard, and thought. 3. "Flesh as food for Man," an extract from one of the best and ablest lectures of Dr. J. C. Jackson. 4. Cookery: embracing twenty pages of recipes for preparing food, embracing Bread, leavened and unleavend, Mushes and Porridges, Pies and Puddings, Fruits and Vegetables, containing in all one hundred and seven recipes. These have been prepared with great care, each one when at all necessary, being tested, especially for this work. To those who wish to know the best methods of preparing healthy food, these alone will be found of more value than the price of the whole series.

Chapter I, of disease and its causes, by sister White, with some miscellaneous items fills out number 1.

With this number will be sent a Catalogue of everything for sale at this Office: such as Works on Health, Am. Tract Society publications, Bibles, Office publications, Educational publications, Writing paper, Envelopes, Rain-Water Filters, Bread-pans, &c. On the back of this Catalogue is printed a Sabbath-keeper's Calendar for 1865, which can be cut off and pasted upon the desk or in a pocket pass-book. The peculiarity of this calendar is, that it gives the time of the sun's setting, or the commencement of the Sabbath, each week through the year, and will be found exceedingly convenient.

Brethren, do not be behind on the Health question. Let the orders come in for How to Live.
