In addition to this aspect it contains many common sense suggestions for normal living. The author writes entertainingly and simply in a strictly accurate manner. Several of the alliterative chapter headings illustrate the readability, such as "Soft Soap and Skin Games," "Dispelling Dietary Dilemmas," "Brains, Biceps and Bunk." As a guide for sensible living it can be safely recommended to patients, especially those most inclined to follow the miscellaneous advice of friends and relatives.
