“The American Public sorely needs the gospel of health that Dr. Walsh preaches to it in his new book.”

—­The Pilot, Boston.

“I do not wonder that your splendid book ‘Health Through Will Power’ has met with such great success.  I know that I could hardly leave the book out of my hands, it was so interesting and instructive.”

—­Archbishop Patrick J. Hayes, of New York.

“‘Health Through Will Power’ is packed with medical wisdom translated into the vernacular of common sense.”

—­The Ave Maria.

“Your book is capable of adding largely to happiness, as well as health.  It is also wonderful, spiritually.  I feel like recommending the book to everyone I know.”

—­Mgr.  M.J.  Lavelle, of New York.

“This book should find a place in every home, as it will help to bring us back to a more natural manner of living.”
