A SOUTH AFRICAN DOCTOR LOOKS BACKWARDS - AND FORWARD BY IN SOUTH AFRICA

'This book is of "ships and shoes and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings."  Autobiography, politics, medicine, philosophy and social reconstruction.  An attempt to make people think of the time when the present universal era of blood-letting will come to an end. The methods the author advocates in treating one human problem can easily be adapted to our returning soldiers, women discharged from munition factories, accountants turned into gunners, lawyers into minesweepers and bakers into fliers.' A fascinating glimpse into the life of a doctor in a small town, Helfontein, in the early part of the twentieth century.  Hard cover, fair condition.  The dust cover is a bit damaged but the book itself is fine.  232 pages.  First edition, published in 1943 by Central News Agency South Africa.
