在为纪念本书勉言的作者而建的怀爱伦纪念医院大厅里，有一块青铜碑牌，上面刻着：
“奉献这所医院是为纪念爱伦·古尔德·怀特，她一生长期无私地致力于减轻患病、受苦和贫困之人的祸患与忧伤;鼓舞青年男女献身于那曾说‘医治病人’(太10:8)的主的工作。”
对于那些认识怀夫人的人，这些话使他们心中充满了温柔的回忆，想起这个极其仁慈的人一生中几乎无数的事件。在现代女性中，很可能没有其他人象怀爱伦这样对自己同胞的生活产生如此深刻而且持久的影响。在所有领域中，她关于照顾身体——圣灵的殿——的教导是最深远而且全面的。
近半个世纪以来，从多种多样的来源，有大量的亮光照在这个重要的题目上。从著名的巴斯德的头脑中发出了卓越而有穿透力的亮光，论述健康和疾病问题。世人从他得知了细菌，即许多疾病的病因。路易斯·巴斯德发明了治愈炭疽病的疗法，这种毁灭性的疾病使人和牲畜都极其痛苦。他不懈辛劳的顶点是发现了狂犬病的疗法，这是历代以来极其可怕的一种疾病。
李斯特勋爵将巴斯特的法则用到手术室，使人类的外科手术安全了许多。他的天才把医院从恐惧腐败的乱摊子变成了安慰和医治之所。他证明外科手术的伤口不必留脓，且使手术的死亡率降到了比较微不足道的数字。
然后有了产科医师塞麦尔维斯，库格曼写给他说：“除了少数例外，世界总是钉死和烧死它的恩人。我希望你在光荣作战时不要感到厌倦。”正是这位塞麦尔维斯与产褥热这个可怕的怪物格斗，也是他不断想着这个问题：“这些母亲怎么死的?分娩热是什么呢?”他的努力要了他的命，但他战胜了那种可怕的疾病。
我还可以继续讲述世界因其他许多人的手而得到的福气，如科赫、埃尔利希、尼可莱尔、北里、冯·贝林、弗莱克斯纳、罗纳德·罗斯等等。但怀爱伦却蒙赐予不同的任务。虽然她毕生的工作和教导都符合真正科学的医学，但她所发出的圣洁光辉却是在医术的精神方面。在呼吁男男女女重视自己的身体为至高者神圣的委托并且顺从上帝的自然律和自然界的上帝方面，她的地位是无与伦比的。正是她推崇了身体的神圣性以及使一切的食欲和情欲都处在蒙光照之良心的支配之下的必要性。其他人强调了在健康方面的科学;惟有她强调对待身体之殿的属灵方面。
现代没有其他人曾进入这个属灵领域努力达到她那样的程度。她从年轻到高龄去世的日子，一直都在不知疲倦地努力工作。她在书籍、期刊文章、报纸、传单和小册中，经常而且始终不渝地用号声呼吁男女老幼达到一种更加合理、更加高尚、更加纯洁的属灵生活水平。从教会的讲台和演讲厅，在集会和区会上，不断听到她的声音在敦促人们必需献身，必须在身体和照顾身体方面过基督徒的生活。其他人说明了关于疾病、病因及其治疗的科学事实;怀爱伦却深入说明了那些事实的属灵方面，直至男男女女心灵的最深之处。
所以，虽然她已安睡在坟墓，她疲倦的双手叠在静止的胸前，她的作品却应接续她工作。她在本书中的“勉言”应当流传，以便祝福、加强和指导那些谋求把同胞指向救主之人的生活，惟祂的光线有医治之能。
保罗在写给青年提摩太的第二封信中说：
“在大户人家，不但有金器银器，也有木器瓦器;有作为贵重的，有作为卑贱的。人若自洁，脱离卑贱的事，就必作贵重的器皿，成为圣洁，合乎主用，预备行各样的善事”(提后2:20,21)。
保罗特别指的是主教会中的肢体。但这些话也多么适用于今日世上构成医术大屋的人类石材啊!其中有如金器银器的医生护士，也有如木器瓦器的医生护士，有些是尊贵的，有些是卑贱的。“勉言”的目的是要洁净这座医治大屋，帮助按照那大医师的样式塑造它。在这个肮脏的世代，一切神圣的事都在被商业化了，到处都在敬拜金牛犊。然而总是会有一些人渴望着在神圣性上仅次于传道工作的医疗专业的最高理想。希望且以简单的祈祷祝愿本书能对最纯洁最无私的医疗专业有所贡献。现在正是履行其使命的时候。

In the lobby of the White Memorial Hospital, which was founded in memory of the writer of the “Counsels” which compose this book, is a bronze tablet bearing the inscription:?{CH 1.1}[1]
“This hospital is dedicated to the memory of Ellen Gould White, whose long life was unselfishly devoted to the alleviation of the woes and sorrows of the sick, the suffering, and the needy; and to inspiring young men and women to consecrate their lives to the work of him who said, ‘Heal the sick.’”?{CH 1.2}[2]
To those who knew Mrs. White these words are freighted with tender memories of almost countless incidents in the life of that most kindly soul. Of the women who have lived in modern days, no other, in all probability, has exercised so deep and lasting an influence upon the lives of her fellows as Ellen G. White. In no realm were her teachings more far-reaching and thorough than in that relating to the care of the body—the temple of the Holy Spirit.?{CH 1.3}[3]
From many and varied sources, during the last half century, a flood of light has been thrown upon this important theme. From out the mind of the renowned Pasteur came shafts of light of brilliant and penetrating power on matters relating to health and disease. From him the world received its knowledge of bacteria, the causative factors of so many diseases. From Louis Pasteur came the cure that conquered anthrax, that devastating sickness afflicting both man and beast. He it was whose unremitting toil culminated in the discovery of a cure for hydrophobia, one of the most dread diseases of all the ages.?{CH 1.4}[4]
Lord Lister, by applying the principles of Pasteur to the operating room, made surgery safe for mankind. His?genius transformed hospitals from being shambles of horror and gangrene to places of comfort and cure. He demonstrated that pus in surgical wounds is unnecessary, and reduced surgical mortality to a relatively insignificant figure.?{CH 1.5}[5]
Then there was Semmelweiss, the obstetrician, to whom Kugelmann wrote: “with few exceptions the world has crucified and burned its benefactors. I hope you will not grow weary in the honorable fight which still remains before you.” It was this Semmelweiss who wrestled with the dread monster of puerperal fever, and through whose brain there throbbed the queries: “Why do these mothers die? What is childbirth fever?” His efforts cost his life, but he conquered the fearful malady.?{CH 2.1}[6]
And I might continue to tell of the blessings the world has received at the hands of many others, from Koch, Ehrlich, Nicolaier, Kitasato, Von Behring, Flexner, Ronald Ross, and many another. But to Ellen G. White a different role was given. While her lifework and teaching were in harmony with truly scientific medicine, it was in the realm of the spiritual side of the healing art that she shone with a brilliance of holy luster. In the matter of appealing to men and women to regard their bodies as a sacred trust from the Highest One, and to obey the laws of nature and of nature’s God, she stands without a peer. She it was who exalted the sacredness of the body and the necessity of bringing all the appetites and passions under the control of an enlightened conscience. Others emphasized science in health; to her it was left to impress the spiritual in the treatment of the temple of the body.?{CH 2.2}[7]
No other one of modern day has entered this field of spiritual endeavor to anything like the extent she did. Her efforts were tireless from the days of her young womanhood to the hour of her death at a very advanced age. Inbooks, in magazine articles, in papers, in tracts and pamphlets, she constantly and unswervingly called men and women, old and young, in clarion tones, to a more rational, a higher, purer plane of spiritual living. From the platform in churches and lecture halls, at convocations and conferences, her voice was continually heard urging the need of consecrated, Christian living in things relating to the body and its care. Others brought to light scientific facts concerning disease, its cause, and its cure; Ellen G. White drove home those facts on the spiritual side to the innermost citadel of the souls of men and women.?{CH 2.3}[8]
It is fitting, therefore, that though she sleeps in her quiet grave, her tired hands folded across the sainted breast, her works should follow her. It is meet that in this volume her “Counsels” should live, to bless, to fortify, and to direct the lives of those who seek to point their fellow beings to that blest One who alone has healing in His wings.?{CH 3.1}[9]
It was the apostle Paul who wrote in his second letter to the youthful Timothy:?{CH 3.2}[10]
“In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the Master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.”?{CH 3.3}[11]
Paul wrote especially concerning the members of the Lord’s church. But how wonderfully applicable also are the words to the human stones which form the structure of the great house of the healing art on earth today! In it there are doctors and nurses of gold, and doctors and nurses of silver, doctors and nurses of wood and of earth, and some to honor and some to dishonor. To purify the great house of healing, to help to mold it after the similitude of the Mighty Healer, is the object of “Counsels.”?{CH 3.4}[12]
In this sordid day, when everything that was once sacred is being commercialized, when the golden calf is being worshiped on every hand, there are and ever will be some men and women wistfully longing for the highest ideals that properly belong with a profession second in sacredness only to the ministry of the word of God. In the hope and with the simple prayer that this volume may contribute to the purest and most unselfish profession of medicine, it is now launched upon its mission.--Percy T. Magan.?{CH 4.1}[13]
【Preface to the second edition】
The trustees are pleased to bring forth the second edition of?Counsels on Health. Issued first in 1923, this compilation of E. G. White writings on the subject of health proved to be an indispensable reference 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—?{CH 4.2}[14]
