| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - "This book is a good contribution to Philippine folkways. Judging from its substance and form, it is especially intended for the layman. The social worker and teacher who are in the best position to influence the understanding, cooperation, and appreciation of the common tao with regards the efforts and difficulties of rural practitioners, would find this a helpful tool. To the city-bred physician who is not well acquainted with superstitious beliefs and practices of rural folks, but who plans to practice in a rural area, this book is of real significance. On the other hand, the regular rural practitioners would enjoy reading about the experiences of a colleague, for by so doing they would be afforded a chance to compare notes with the author, a man with rich and valuable experience in rural medicine." - Clarisa Dimalanta
