The truth about modern surgery told by a master surgeon is of value both to the members of the medical profession and the general reader.

Keith, Marian. [Duncan Polite, the watchman of Glenoro.] [†]$1.50. Revell.
Pathos and humor are skilfully blended in this story of a small Canadian town where English, Irish, High and Lowland Scotch are found. Duncan McDonald, called the polite to distinguish him from all the other McDonalds, is the hero of the tale which concerns the discord which a young and modern minister engenders in an old kirk, where he wins a youthful following in spite of the elders’ aversion to all new things.
“It is a fresh, clean story, likely to interest young people in spite of the prayerful tension in the atmosphere of the tale.”
