Frances Willard says, "God's health decalogue is as binding as the ten com- 

 mandments." '"A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too 

 busv to take care of his tools." Great effort and poor work mark that man or 

 woman. The HOME BOOK OP MODERN MEDICINE makes God's "health deca- 

 logue" plain. Its principles, which have made the Battle Creek ' Sanitarium 

 famous in the successful treatment of disease, are here adapted to the home.

THE ABT OF MASSAGE, hy J. H. Kellogg, M. D., member of the 

 British Gynecological Society, the International Periodical Congress of Gynecol- 

 ogy and Obstetrics, American and British Associations for the Advancement of 

 Science, the Societe d'Hygiene of France, American Medical Association, Supt. 

 Battle Creek (Mich.) Sanitarium, etc. 



A practical manual for the student, the nurse, the practitioner, explaining the 

 physiological effects of therapeutic applications. Concise directions are given for 

 more than forty manipulations under seven headings: Touch, Percussion, Vibra- 

 tion, Friction, Joint Movements, Stroking, Kneading. Each paragraph is num- 

 bered to avoid repetition. Similar topics are indicated by cross-reference num- 

 bers. 



The author's theories on Scientific Physical Training, and his Studies of Indi- 

 vidual and Comparative Muscular Strength in Men and Women, give the reader 

 new and important facts destined to effect a revolution in methods of physical 

 training. 



The chapter on Rest Cure gives valuable hints pertaining to this system of 

 treatment in which massage plays so important a part. 



The Nauheim treatment for diseases of the heart and kidneys, is also de- 

 scribed, giving careful rules for the various special exercises and baths employed 

 in connection with this treatment. 



Contains a number of new procedures not previously described in any text 

 book, and of great practical value especially in connection with abdominal and 

 pelvic massage, which heretofore has received little attention. Every procedure is 

 illustrated by half-tone engravings from original photographs. 47 full-page plates, 

 139 views, 11 colored anatomical plates from drawings by the celebrated German 

 anatomist. Bock; also a table of the 208 "Muscles of the Body" with the "Nerve 

 Supply" and "Action" of each. 



The only treatise which enables a person to become even moderately expert in 

 massage without the aid of a living teacher. Dr. Kellogg has become familiar with 

 all its procedures by a personal study, during two visits to Europe, of the methods 

 employed by the best English, Swedish, French and German manipulators; and 

 the practical testing of these and his own methods on thousands of patients in the 

 Sanitarium amply qualifies him for the authorship of this volume, the only complete, 

 practical, and fully illustrated treatise on Massage. 



240 pages besides the 47 full-page illustrations. Bound in cloih, $2.50.
