D'Aubigne's History of the Reformation, in five Vols., 2,449 pages. A new translation, revised by the author, with portraits of the author, and of Luther, Melanchthon, and Wicliffe. A learned professor has well said, this is "one of the most timely and useful works of the present century. It is indeed the only history that opens to the French or English reader any thing like an interior view of that great work of God, the Reformation in the sixteenth century; the style is graphic and full of life, and a delightful spirit of evangelical piety pervades the whole." 4.00 88

Health Publications.
Trall's Hygienic Practice. It is said to be "what its name implies—a hand-book of practice, containing the latest and most improved methods of treating all forms of disease. It is condensed, complete, scientific, in cheap form, and the author designed it to supersede all others heretofore written."
Price, $1,75. Postage 16 cents.
Jackson on Consumption. Let no one conclude that this work is needed only by the far-gone consumptive. It is just the book for the well man to teach him how to remain well. And those in active life, yet failing somewhat in health, should read it while there is hope of recovery.
Price, $2,00. Postage 28 cents.
Eld. J. N. Loughborough, in a note to us May 26th, 1864, says—Dr. Jackson's work on Consumption, which I purchased of you last fall is an excellent work. Although there are some few things in it that I cannot endorse, yet I consider it as free from errors as any medical work I ever read. His practical hints for living have been of great value to me. I would not take one hundred dollars for the information I have derived from the work. By carrying out some of its rules, with the blessing of God, I have added ten per cent. to my health. It is a work I would recommend to all.
Dr. Jackson is an able and intelligent physician, and treats diseases from the only rational point of view; beginning with telling us how to prevent them. He enters into the causes of hereditary consumption, the evils of drug-taking, &c.; and explains the method of cure of which he is one of the ablest advocates. The book, with its fund of information, will be eagerly sought in this insidious climate, where consumption finds so many victims.—Boston True Flag.
The book contains much information on the way to prevent and cure consumption, that would be of great value to the people.—Zion's Herald.
Dr. Jackson is an able and experienced physician, and a man of high character. He knows what CONSUMPTION is; and if that terrible evil can be avoided or cured hereafter, it will be in no light degree owing to his philosophic counsel and advice. His volume is one that should be studied, and studied by all.—Boston Traveler.
We have read it with great interest. It corroborates some views we had previously entertained; it explains others; it suggests new theories on many points. It is a book altogether enriching to the reader, and worth any man's owning and pondering.—Home Journal.
But few can peruse the volume without gaining new ideas with regard to the preservation of health.—New York Tribune.
It is well worthy extensive reading, and will do much good.—Water-cure Journal.
It contains much sound sense well put, and is worthy of being examined by all who are interested in the subject,—a lamentably large number.—Independent.
Jackson on the Sexual Organism.
Price, $1,75. Postage 16 cents.
An honest effort to diffuse useful information. Most popular works on this subject are the reverse of this, and are mere advertisements of quacks.—Plymouth Rock.
It may safely be put into the hands of young people, and parents especially can scarcely fail to be greatly profited by its perusal. They will know all the better how to rear up a healthy, virtuous family.—Chicago Tribune.
The second part of the work, "The Sexual Organism," in our opinion is a work that ought to be read by the young and old of both sexes. The writer (Dr. James C. Jackson) is well known as one of the ablest advocates of the hygienic system of treatment in the United States; and he has given the public, in this volume, practical information that should be known and acted upon by parents and children, the married and single. The doctor deals in no high-sounding technicalities; but his language is simple, clear, chaste and easy to be understood. The chapters devoted to children and their management ought to be read by every mother.—Nunda News, N. Y.
Philosophy of Health.
Natural Principles of Health and Cure; Or Health and Cure without Drugs. Also the Moral Bearing of Erroneous Appetite. By L. B. Cole, M. D. Fellow of the Massachusetts Medical Society, and Member of the Boston Medical Association.
Price, $1,75. Postage 24 cents.
Hygienic Cook Book.

By Mrs. Mattie M. Jones, M. D. Matron of the Hygienic Institution No. 15 Laight Street, New York.
Price, 30 cents. Postage 2 cents.

Its effect upon the Health and Character of those who use it.
Price, 20 cents. Postage 2 cents.
Progress of the Cause in Enterprise
Bro. P. Erb writes from Enterprise, Minn.: I do not feel discouraged in this good cause. We have our little meetings here in which we strive to encourage each other to be faithful in the cause of our blessed Master. It is now seven years since I first heard the third angel's message at Lovett's Grove, Ohio. I am thankful to God that I ever heard the message. Myself and wife kept the Sabbath a long while alone; but now there are eleven more with us. There are many that are interested; and we hope that our number will soon be doubled. I hope the cause will prosper and the way be opened that the message may go on.
I ask an interest in the prayers of the brethren that I may be faithful and meet you all at last on Mount Zion.
Pungent Truths
PUNGENT TRUTHS.—It is not what people eat, but what they digest, that makes them strong. It is not what they make, but what they save, that makes them rich. It is not what they read, but what they remember, that makes them learned. It is not what they profess, but what they practice that makes them righteous.

A Short Sketch of Startling Truths.
By Editor
FROM an article written by G. W. Bungay, Esq., to the Detroit Tribune, March 31, 1865, we extract the following paragraph which we head as above. It is as vivid a description of some of the moral features of our times as could well be given in so few words. We commend it to the careful consideration of those who think the world is growing better.
“More than two hundred years ago, an old divine said ‘there are more good men among bad men, and more bad men among good men than the world ever dreamed of.’ We have not State Prisons enough to hold all the rascals who deserve to go there. Conspirators against humanity stalk through the streets unabashed in broad day light; scoundrels who deserve to swing as tassels at the rope’s end, are found everywhere endeavoring to defraud the soldier or his family of the bounty to which he is entitled. Smooth faced and oily villians, who would rattle dice over the remains of their mothers, or play cards at the communion table, make it their main business to cheat all they come in contact with. Villians of a deeper dye, will strike down whatever stands between them and the gratification of their passions, making their hands red with murder.”
An Inquirer at Work.
By Editor
THE following letter we take the liberty to publish, from one who is investigating with an apparent desire to know the truth. We bespeak for him an interest in the prayers of the brethren and sisters, that he may be led into all truth. He thus candidly writes:
BRO. WHITE: Permit me thus to address you, though not a member of the Advent church. I am not acquainted fully with the views of the Advent people, and have never had the pleasure of listening to a discourse from one of the ministers of that denomination. But some kind friend has forwarded to my address, the Review and Herald, also the Review of Preble on the Sabbath and Law, and the Kingdom of God. Also Bro. J. McReynolds has sent me the pamphlet on the Sanctuary, and some small works on the Sabbath. I am reading these works with great interest, weighing the matter therein contained by the word of God, and as yet I find no objection to them.
The weekly visits of the Review and Herald I hail with gladness, for the many good instructions and encouragements that its pages contain. I wish to know the whole truth as it is in Jesus Christ our Saviour, and practice the same. May it be our meat and drink to do our Master's will, then we shall not fear what man can do or say, but our trust will be in our dear Redeemer. I would be glad to have a minister of the Advent faith visit this western part of Iowa. The people would listen attentively, I think, with a view to know the truth.
To those kind friends who feel such an interest in my future welfare I would say, May the Lord bless them, both in spiritual and temporal blessings, that they may continue to do good in spreading the knowledge of the truth, as the Lord may prosper them.
Yours in hope of immortality.
JOSEPH HAMILTON.
Fremont Co., Iowa.
Note from Bro. Frisbie.
By J. B. Frisbie
Bro. White: Some twelve or fifteen have embraced the Sabbath in Marion, and the adjoining town of Genoa. The school-houses are about three miles apart. Most every one that has heard right through is convinced, and some good ones are interested. I expect to go back in two weeks from to-day to visit them.
