TAKES A HOLIDAY . . . AN
AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL
FRAGMENT*
BY MARY MCKIBBINHHARPER, M.D.
T
HE Doctor Takes a Holiday is worthy of a high mark. Dr. has published several charming sketches of McKibbin-Harper her travels in the Far East: The Doctor Looks at Turkey, Greece, Scandinavia, etc. Her readers will weIcome this new volume. In order to give a short resume of what the book is about we “The book, essentiahy one of travel in quote from the Foreword: the Orient, is sociologica in its scope, describing native customs, religions and supersititions and it is an eye-opener as to native medical customs and the beneficent influences of education and modern health service. It telIs of men and women doctors and other interesting people met in a round-the-world tour whiIe amusing iIlustrated by many pen drawings of experiences are cleverly Kathryn Yager Lewis.” The Doctor Takes a HoIiday is an interesting, readabIe and authentic travel book of a new kind.
TEST TUBES AND DRAGON
SCALESt
BY GEORGEC. BASIL, M.D. In Collaboration with Elizabeth Foreman Lewis
A
PATIENT gave us Test Tubes and Dragon Scales, by George C. Basil, M.D., formerly superintendent of the “ Syracuse-in-China ” Hospital, Chungking, and we threw it aside, inwardly wondering why people make presents of books to one who gets more books for review than he can read. One cold, snowy night we chanced to pick it up. Casually, we began reading it, and read it from cover to cover in two installments. We Iearned all about an American physician in China and his trials, tribulations and adventures. The book is different, superbly written, provides full enjoyment and at the end leaves one satisfied. Your wife, daughter and sister wiI1 aIso enjoy it. * Grand Rapids, Iowa, 1941. The Torch Press. t Philadelphia, 1940. The John C. Winston Company.
