Preface to the second edition
      
      
        The trustees are pleased to bring forth the second edition of Coun-
      
      
        sels on Health. Issued first in 1923, this compilation of E. G. White
      
      
        writings on the subject of health proved to be an indispensable refer-
      
      
        ence work, and the first edition in its several printings far exceeded
      
      
        expectations for its distribution. The text of the book is unchanged,
      
      
        and the original paging has been maintained. A new feature which
      
      
        will be much appreciated by the careful student is the inclusion of the
      
      
        date of writing or of first publication which appears in connection with
      
      
        source reference to each article. That this volume in its reissued form
      
      
        may continue to fill an important place in keeping before the church
      
      
        and its ministerial and medical workers the significant place of our
      
      
        health message is the sincere wish of the publishers and—
      
      
        The trustees of the
      
      
        Ellen G. White publications.
      
      
        Washington, D.C.
