Scuffing/minor damage to bottom of spine binding and scuffing to top of spine and corners, elsewise a very good, clean, tight, copy. From the author's Introduction: "Intelligence is the most potent factor that can be directed against disease. This principle has always been my guide in dealing with tuberculosis patients. No question asked by an earnest patient is too insignificant for an answer, and no fact that will aid him in recovering health should be witheld from him. Since tuberculosis is an infection which starts in childhood and remains throughout the life of the individual, and particularly since regaining and preserving health depend so much upon an intelligent understanding, it is especially necessary that tuberculous patients should be instructed as to the nature of the disease and the measures which have proved of value in its prevention and treatment." 273 pages.
