This substantial vintage health reference, authored by Dr. Clifford R. Anderson and published by the Sentinel Publishing Association in Cape Town, offers a fascinating look at mid-century medical advice and domestic health care. Comprising fifty-three chapters of "practical health counsel" approved by a large panel of specialists, the volume is noted for its detailed anatomical illustrations, including the striking cross-section of a human heart on the cover. As a product of the Sentinel Publishing Association, it reflects a historical approach to wellness and education often associated with Seventh-day Adventist health outreach in Southern Africa. The book is in good vintage condition, featuring a strong binding and clean, crisp internal pages with minimal foxing; the boards show light shelf wear at the corners and spine ends, consistent with age and occasional use.
