This need not be so, nor should it beso! The best interests of the public's health wouldbe served if there were greater understanding ofone's body and its physical and emotional prob-lems. This fine dictionary aims in that direction byexplaining, in simple, non-technical language, themeanings of medical terms. The several hundredcrisp diagrams bring into clear focus many med-ical conditions which have heretofore been ob-scure to the average man/'Major General Clinton S.
