all smack of sick room odor, hut of healthy, happy, 
bright life. Everybody teelB better bodily nnd mentally

ing. The well how to keep so, by good habits. Parents

train them to good habits. This Monthly does not limit its 
field to health topics, but goes over the whole ground of 
life, and is so broad and comprehensive that it has won 
the universal esteem of 
Thousands on Thousands of People. 
"We cau always commend this journal without qualifica- 
tion."— Xrtr Yorlt Evening Post. (Edited by William c. 
Bryant, the Poet.) 
"The Herald of Health is a journal which contains 
more sensible articles on Bubjects of a practical moral bear- 
ing, than are to be found in any other monthly that conies 
to our sanctum." — Scientific American. 
"The Herald of Health well sustains the high standard 
which it has held forth since the commencement of the new 
series. In fulfilling its task as a ' preacher of righteousness * 
in the department of Physical Culture, it enjoys the aid of 
numerous sound thinkers and aide writers.*'— New York 
Tribune. 
Its corps of Contributors includes scores of the best men 
and women in the country. Each month we have a contri- 
bution from 
Henry Ward Beecher, 
His articles alone on practical topics are worth the entire 
cost for one year. 
A few pages each month will be devoted to brief prescrip- 
tions for all forms of disease, not nf drugs, but of Hygienic 
Agencies. Queries on health topics answered free 
every month in the Journal.
