Look For "Mon With a Million

Patients"

SOMETHING lively and entertaining, and some merciless disclosures of the weaknesses of “old school tie” ad ministration may be expected in a book which Dr. S. M. Lambert has written, and which will be published in January. Its title probably will be “The Man With a Million Patients”; and, as the American medico, in the course of his epochal work in the South Pacific possibly lived on more Pacific Islands than any other European, and as he is noted for his wit and his sham, discerning eye, the story should be one of the best of its kind seen for many years.

Dr. Lambert, for 22 years, carried on his war against disease in the South Seas; and, when he retired, in 1938, he was well known, and held in high regard, from Tahiti right across to Papua and New Guinea. He lives now at Walnut Creek, California, U S.A. Last June, his Alma Mater, Hamilton College, conferred upon him the well-deserved degree of Doctor of Science.

Mr. Eric Spencer, of the Department of Lands and Works, Tulagi, has settled down at his job again after a visit to Australia, where he was unsuccessful in his effort to rejoin the Air Force, with which he served as a pilot for some years prior to the war.
