HEALTH JOURNALS

About the time of the establishment of the first health institution, the publication of a journal, known as the Health Reformer, was begun, with the object of promulgating the principles of health and temperance reform which were advocated and practiced at the Health Institute. The journal soon acquired a large subscription list, and became one of the most widely circulated health publications in the United States. About the time of the reorganization of the Health Institute, the name of the journal was changed to Good Health, under which title it is now published. Probably no other journal of the kind wields so wide an influence in the interests of health and temperance and social purity reform, as this.BHY 229.3

Eight or nine years ago a health journal in the Danish language was started in Christiana, Norway. This soon became so popular that it was necessary to publish an edition also in the Swedish language. More recently, two journals in the Scandinavian languages have been started in this country, so that now there are four health journals in those languages, and each has a wide circulation.BHY 230.1

Several years ago the managers of the Rural Health Retreat established a journal known as the Pacific Health Journal, which has reached a liberal circulation, and has accomplished much in the dissemination of the principles of health and temperance reform.BHY 230.2

In addition to the various journals mentioned, books, tracts, and pamphlets have been issued by the hundred thousand.BHY 230.3

Before leaving this subject, it will be proper to call attention to a prediction made by Mrs. White more than twenty years ago, regarding the health institution at Battle Creek: “With all the efforts in every department, put forth in a correct and judicious manner, and with the blessing of God, the institution will prove a glorious success.” Another statement, made before the institution had reached half its present dimensions and facilities, is as follows: “If it [the Sanitarium] is conducted in a manner that God can bless, it will be highly successful, and will stand in advance of every other institution of the kind in the world.”BHY 230.4

The following article from Mrs. White clearly sets forth the principles upon which the Sanitarium should be conducted:—BHY 230.5
