The day James and Ellen White left Battle Creek for the Wisconsin convocation, the Review and Herald announced: 2BIO 200.3
Testimony for the Church No. 12 is now ready. It contains a hundred pages of most important matter for the people of God at the present time.—Ibid., September 17, 1867 2BIO 200.4
Except for No. 11, published in January, with its three articles, “Dress,” “Our Ministers,” and “The Health Reform,” urging loyalty to health principles and presenting the call for a health institution, there had been no pamphlets of testimony counsels for three years. James White anticipated for Number 12 an immediate and wide circulation. Its sixteen articles, some long, some short, were divided between health-related topics and more general counsels. The first notice of publication listed as subjects: 2BIO 200.5
