Battle Creek, Mich.: Good Health Publishing Company, 1892. 410 pp., illustrated with color plates. Dr. Kellogg's guide for the American household on healthy living. A devout Seventh-Day Adventist, Kellogg advocated a vegetarian diet, abstention from coffee, tea, and alcohol, and plenty of fresh air.

Yikes. The cover has a lovely illustration of an angel pouring water from a well named 'Sanitas' (did you know that Kellogg coined the word 'sanitarium'?); spine has a circle atop some books and the lamp of knowledge, with an illustration of a woman holding a bowl before a snake; an owl (wisdom?) sits atop the circle.
