    PREFATORY NOTE. Thk desire of the beloveil apostle was that his triend (fuius should prosper and be in health, even us his soul prospered. Christ is the Saviour of the body, as well as of the soul, or rather of men, who have^bodies as well as souls, and due care of tire body is a Chri.stian duty as well as concern for the' wellare of the soul. The diffusion of sound information, in a popular and read- able form, fitted to make the people sensil)le of their responsibility, and lead them to use all the means in their power to preserve their own health and the health of those depeiulent upon them, so that they may. be able to fulhl in the best manner all the purposes of their existence, is therefore one important brancli of the work of The Keligious 'I'kact Society. In order to fulfil this part of the Society’s duty to the public, this Shout Series of Health at Home Tracts has been prepared. The work has been entrusted to a writer who has given special attention to the whole subject, and is well known to the reading imblie. The Series pretty well covers the whole ground as far as it {'un be fittingly done in publications of this class. In every tract the moral and spiritual, as well as the physical needs of the readers are kept in view. Words of counsel are given with reference to the life and health of the soul as well as of the body, though the chief purpose is to give directions with reference to the latter. The Tracts have appeared separately, and the recep- tion they have already met with encourages the hope that in this collected form they will be still more widely read and more extensively useful.
