Great Need for Health Journals—The people are in sad need of the light shining from the pages of our health and temperance journals. God desires to use these journals as mediums through which flashes of light shall arrest the attention of the people, and cause them to heed the warning of the message of the third angel....

Simple Articles in Health Journals—The minds of our California people are not advanced far enough in health reform to receive the most good from Good Health.
