By J S Horn

Dr Horn studied medicine in the 1930s and then travelled to China in 1937  as a ship's surgeon. He then returned to China several years later with his wife and young family and practised medicine. This is his account of that time - he tells us of particular cases and the poverty of many of his patients. It's a fascinating glimpse into the China of the time and the health service of the time. 

In very good condition with dust jacket. Published in 1969. Lots of black and white images.
