Get Free Health Booklets

The Consumer Information Catalog has the full online text versions of federal consumer publications covering the health world.  There are booklets about diet & exercise, drugs, and how to combat a variety of health problems.  You can view them for free online, or ask for printed copies that they will mail to you (some of which are free.)  Remember that these booklets may not be completely authoritative, and you may need professional medical advice.  Here are just a few of the pamphlets I've seen there:

• It's Quittin' Time. Describes the benefits and side effects of five stop-smoking aids: the anti-smoking pill, nasal spray, inhaler, nicotine patch and gum.
