And the man is worth looking at."-Saturday Review of Literature "An honest and objective self-record that puts on paper one of the most beloved traditions of the past and shows that the fundamental virtues for which the country doctor was cherished have survived into the scientific present, while many not-so-good aspects of sentimental old days have fortunately been left behind."-Books Zusammenfassung Features anecdotes, a lively and somewhat rough-and-ready depiction of the country physician's experiences in general and Dr Hertzler's in particular.
