The Herald of Health is another Jealous
champion of physical education and hygienic reform,
searching FOR knowledge in every quarter and present
ing IL to the people in familiar and attractive STYLE In
this number there is good article on the Hygiene OF
Marriage" and still better one on the Effects OF To-
baceO" showing its pernicOus influence on the human
constitution, apart from its character as social
nuisance. The; suggestions OF German writer
on the use of honey In affections of the
throat have been confirmed by the personal ex-
perence Of others, and perhaps deserve the attention
Of the invalid. We quote: d" strong influence ior pup
fishing this book the fact that j, sufferer rom
hemorrhages already given up to despair, and al inc
verge Of the grave was saved by the wonderful curative
powers Of honey and now, thank God am Heed, hot
only from weakness Of my lungs, but rejoice In the pos
session of perfect health. At my first attack, upwards
OF thirty years ago. powders and tea were ordered Tor
me- which benefited me but little. then placed httle
confidence in honey, which used occasionally ana IN
small quantities. Judging from my present KNOWLEDGE
believe that the honey was the only remedy that was
doing me any good and it is this that have to thank for
the gradual the sure restoration of my health AS my
disease increased 1 began TO use cod liver oil, when
weakened and injured my stomach, that could hardly
digest more and my condition became worse ana
worse. Again returned TO honey when my sunellhgs
Immediately began to decrease and disappear. Besides
the use honey took pains to preserve my breast ana
lungs from injury which, In my trying situation as pub
lie teacher was almost impossible My disease being
by my constant teaching during so many years
gave up my profession, and honey was my only medi-
cine whereby l. by the simplest, SAFEST quickest, anu
pleasanest manner 0Or was fond OF honey, relieved
the disease IN my throat and out of thankfuness now
write this for the and benefit OF many, espe-
cay for the of those suffering from diseases Of the
throat and lungs"
If the reading public is not kept up to the
mark with regard TO the laws OF hygiene it is not the
faut OF The Science Of Health monthly, which continues
the good work Of preaching temperance Cleanliness eX-
ercse pure conscience, and wewashed body, as the
conditions OF physical and temporal salvation Many OF
its precepts ana cOunses 1t is true are by no means
novel but they not worn out by reeration and use
some o. its suggestions are a little crotchety put
after al the wsest cannot consult its pages with
out advantage and the most foolish may there ma
remedy for his folly. The present number has well
digested articles the history of medical practice and
the principles Of physiology but the portion which will
interest the greater number OF readers Is the miseela
