1904 GOOD HEALTH 1904

Announcement


rjhave prepared for the readers of Good Health for 1904 a feast
of good things quite surpassing the best which has heretofore
been offered during the longlifetime of this journal. For nearly
forty years this magazine has been standing for principles of hygienic reform.
Once unpopular, many of these principles have now come to be so popular
that in some instances they might almost be said to be fads.


Mighty strides
have been made within
the past few years in
the development of
great principles of cor¬
rect physical living.
The natural life, the
natural order in diet,
dress, and all that per¬
tains to daily habits is
recognized as the ideal
standard.



Good Health rep¬
resents this phase of
modern progress as does
no other journal. Dur¬
ing the year 1904 this
journal will deal with
all the various phases
of the great health move¬
ment, which is to-day
receiving more atten¬
tion from intelligent
men and women who


are alive to the needs of the world than any other phase of human progress.

In addition to the discussion of general topics, each number during the
year will deal in an interesting, comprehensive way with some special and
important question. TJie following program, dealing with the leading features
of the health-culture idea, will be faithfully carried out.

A glance at the following outline will give something of an idea of the
thoroughgoing way in which the health-culture idea will be dealt with in this
journal during the coming year.

Good Health for January : The simple life, as illustrated in the lives
of eminent men and in the customs and history of great nations. Interest¬
ing and instructive lessons will be drawn from the example of such men as
Pythagoras, Socrates, Seneca, John the Baptist, the Christ, Tolstoi, Priess-
nitz, Gladstone, William Cullen Bryant, the participants of the Brook Farm
Experiment, and various ancient and modern nations, especially the Per¬
sians, the early Greeks, the Hindoos, North American Indians, Japanese
peasants, the peasantry of Hungary and Ireland.

February : A temperance number, in which all the phases of the tern-
















perance question will be discussed. The influence of alcohol upon the brain
and nerves and digestion. The hereditary effect of alcohol. Influence of tea
and coffee. Tobacco habit. Opium, cocain, and other drug habits.

meat eating. Some famous vegetarians.

Home Remedies: Each number will contain instruction with reference
to the treatment of maladies incident to the particular season of the year.

Question Box : Each number will contain answers to scores of practi¬
cal questions asked by correspondents. Every subscriber has the privilege
of asking as many questions as he likes, to be answered through the journal
by the editor.

Editorial Department; Each number will contain several pages of
editorial comments upon live health topics. The editor will be able to give
more of his time to the conduct of the journal during the coming year than
for several years back.

Contributors: Mrs. E. E. Kellogg, who has for more than twenty
years contributed regularly to Good Health, will give a large part of her
time to the journal, and will contribute numerous original articles on
child culture, healthful home making, cookery, and other topics which are
her specialties. Many old and new contributors will aid in carrying out the
above program, so that subscribers may expect Good Health for 1904 to
be the very best volume which has ever been issued.
