A doctor himself, his writing, until July 1930, was confined to medical subjects (Dust-Inhalation by Haematite Miners, First Aid in Coal Mines); he has practiced in South Wales, has been down more than 500 coal mines. His first novel (Hatter's Castle; TIME, July 20. 1931), a gloomy lengthy melodrama, was a surprise best seller. In neither of his professions has Dr. Cronin paid much attention to the rules.
