Pressestimmen
Last March Dutton published Macartney's Fifty Years a Country Doctor, an admirable book in its way, but too much a thesis on medicine for the layman, and too much an anecdotal, homespun autobiography for the medico. It didn't quite measure up to the hope of its title. Now comes The Horse and Buggy Doctor, which seems to us the perfect blend of personal experience, human interest stories, salty anecdote, a very human philosophy and a survey of the field of medicine as it came within the province of a country doctor in Kansas, through a practice covering fifty years. Very good reading and a vital bit of Americana. The book was scheduled for later publication, but its selection by the Book of the Month as their August choice pushed the publication date forward. Hence the apparent neglect of a book which we believe is sure to be an important item. Doctors will enjoy it, even if they differ with him in his plea for the old-fashioned general practitioner and family doctor; laymen will find it an immensely readable human document. (Kirkus Reviews)
Kurzbeschreibung
"The Horse and Buggy Doctor follows no conventional lines. In larger part it is a book rich in anecdotes, a lively and somewhat rough-and-ready depiction of the country physician's experiences in general and Dr. Hertzler's in particular. In part it is descriptive of medical methods of the period."-New York Times "This is almost an autobiography. Certainly it is the complete picture of a man. And the man is worth looking at."-Saturday Review of Literature "An honest and objective self-record that puts on paper one of the most beloved traditions of the past and shows that the fundamental virtues for which the country doctor was cherished have survived into the scientific present, while many not-so-good aspects of sentimental old days have fortunately been left behind."-Books

This book is excellent for understanding life in the mid to late 1800's, for understanding the speed with which the "practice of medicine" has grown, and growing in honesty with oneself. The humor and joy is the best! And I empathized with the pain and difficulty.

Thought provoking entertainment
18. Juni 2003
When I first picked up this book, I was interested in it because it was so old. As I read it, especially the first few chapters about his adventures in elementary school (I teach fourth grade) I was pleased. I feel better about the antics my students have gotten into. The rest of the book is an entertaining, yet infomative first hand account of the growth of the medical profession. We have come a long way. I am looking forward to seeing where we go.

wonderful Read
18. August 2002
I just finished this book last night. I have an interest in medical history, particularly american. The author gives a detailed insight into early american medicine. He was truely a wonderful man and physician. I am a physician and am surprised how many problems he experienced that are still currently problems in medicine. This book is a must read for anyone interested in early american medicine.
