Seven months ago, when the Prime Minister needed to win Britain's last General Election, he turned the trick by having Anthony Eden appear dazzlingly in Britain's public eye as the Siegfried of Diplomacy, the handsome young man who was going to save Ethiopia from Italy with that flaming sword, the League of Nations. Having won the election Mr. Baldwin, who had created for "Tony" Eden the hitherto unheard of office of "Minister for League of Nations Affairs," sat back contentedly to let Ethiopia and Italy be dealt with in practical fashion by Sir Samuel Hoare, then...

But for readers who like to settle comfortably in bed with a nice warm-hearted story, Author Rinehart had once more supplied just the thing. To an uncritical eye The Doctor is a hearty moral tale that shades almost imperceptibly away from real life.

To those who mistake the itch and ache of sentimentality...
