This is a health education manual, clearly written, in a friendly
and easy to follow manner that will make it invaluable for the
layman, to come to grips with the essential causes of diseases and
medical cures. The writer, himself a medical doctor, often writes
from the perspective of his own early background in a rural village
in Ghana, and, indeed, for anyone growing up in an African context,
this book will be a wonderful guide to better health. The Manual is
very readable, all the more so on account of the frequent
illustrations from the doctor-author's own consulting room. With
his attractive bedside manner, he speaks to the reader not as a
superior doctor but as a friend and as an equal, never pedantic and
never aloof.

so far as it is addressed largely to the Christian reader.The
writer's explanation of the nature of disease makes abundantsense,
tracing, as he does, its origin to the fall of man in Eden,
wherethe Creator made everything perfect and saw that "all was

disease, forprevention is always better than cure And where a cure
is needed, the right mental attitude, not forgetting the unlimited
power ofprayer, is probably the most important resource.
