Doctor came Into thelj otto as
readable authors at Med ford public
library in July.
A tabulation made today showed
- that the medical profession occupied
number one and two spots on the list
- of the most popuiai works on non
fiction during the month. The med
ico outdistanced even the liberal ar
ray of newspaper men who quite gen
erously sprinkled the list and who
re especially adept at writing In a
popular vein.
At the top of the non -fiction list
ing stood an American Doctor's Odys
sey, by Dr. Victor G. Heiser. public
health expert who has served hu
manity In virtually every part of tin
a world. Next In line was Man the
Unknown, by Dr. Alexis carrel, famed
for his skill in surgery and for his
successful transplanting of living or
gans. Obstacles Told.
Dr. Heiser tells of the work that
has been done In public health, of
the control of diseases that up to a
generation ago took an astonishing
toll of human life of the studies
being made to check maladies fur
whteh no specific remedy or control
has yet been discovered.
The doctor relates the almost un
believable obstacles that have had
to be overcome by those engaged
In public health work the stupidity
of business men and the chicanery
of petty politicians, religious and
racial superstitions, promotional bal
lyhoo that in the case of California
would not admit bubonic plague had
broken out until It had spread to
Oregon and leaped across the Rocky
mountains where it still presents a
menace.
Iftterwoven In this medical story
are vivid and enlightening descrip
tions of strange alien habits and cus
toms, all combining to make a book
that la informative as a treatise and
as entertaining as a lively novel.
Reporters Speak Out.
m Man the Unknown. Dr. Carrel
presents a synthesis of what psychol
ogists, biologists, physicists and chem
ists have learned ebout the nature
of man. The author then proceeds
to tell how a stronger and healthier
race may be developed. The book
makes a good companion piece fo?
Dr. Helser's volume.
A newcomer among the 15 most
popular volumes of non-ftctlon dur
ing July was We Ccver the World, in
which a dozen or so foreign corre
spondents step out of their custom
ary role of factual reporters to tell
what they actually think of various
world events and the leading per
formers In them.
For the most part," foreign corre
spondents are a highly trained. In- j
telllgent and scrupulously sincere
group of impartial reporters who sel
dom In their daily work are permit
ted by the rules of factual Journal
Ism to tell what is really going on
behind the scenes. Here, however,
they speak their minds and what
they have to say makes interesting !
