"Devoted to hygienic medication, bodily development, and the laws of life."
During the mid-1800's, there was a great interest in the "water cure," a means of curing and preventing disease without the use of drugs of any kind. The Water-Cure Journal, was one of the most successful of the periodicals dealing with this subject. In addition to articles on various water treatments and the uses of water, it was concerned with physiology, pathology, and physical, moral and intellectual development and gave information on cleanliness, clothing, ventilation, diet, pregnancy and prevention of disease
(cont.) When it became the Herald of Health in 1863, the space previously devoted to the "water cure" began to be filled by more varied contents, while the emphasis on physical, moral, and intellectual development was maintained. Articles dealt with hygiene, the rearing of children, care of the sick and various cures for illness, and the evils of alcohol; in addition there were recipes, poetry, notices of new publications, and answers to readers' questions. The magazine became still more varied in 1900 when its title was changed to Health. During this period it emphasized physical culture and recreation, as well as providing information on health care and diet. Its pages now contained many illustrations and advertisements, as well as occasional travel and adventure articles. Cf. American periodicals, 1741-1900
