Doctor Smith by G. Kemble Welch Blackwood and Janet Paul, 27s 6d This is a biography of the famous Dr G. M. Smith, Hokianga's ‘King of the North’, who gave up a promising career as a surgeon to practice for 34 years in isolated Rawene. He was a significant figure in the development of social security in medicine, and under him Rawene medical services became for many people an ideal of the way social security care should develop. A humane and gifted man, he could also be fiercely individualistic and intolerant of opposition. Dr Kemble Welch's account of his life has both sympathy and detachment, and is written with such lively intelligence that even those with no knowledge of his subject will enjoy this portrait of an extraordinary individual and the times in which he lived. M.O.
