Apparently unrecorded Italian-language journal of naturopathy, published in Chicago under the editorship of Nicandro A. Ferri, who also published a few naturopathic titles in English including "The Behavior of Health" (1930) and "Soybeans, the Wonder Food" (1938). The magazine's focus appears to have been primarily on nutrition and digestive health; Ferri contributes two such articles to the present issue; other contributors include E. Piccoli ("Il senso alimentare"); J.H. Tilden (a translation of his essay on the treatment of gonorrhoea); others. Not located in OCLC under title, editor, or publisher.
