Testimonial

In the Medical Record last fortnight, Psychiatrist Frederick Lemere of Seattle, Wash, presented the following testimonial to the power of a book:

"An intelligent college boy of 20 read Dale Carnegie's book How to Win Friends and Influence People, and suddenly turned from a shy, introspective, seclusive, sensitive individual to an excited, superficially friendly, overly confident egoist. Aware of his new found power, he developed a plan whereby he would relieve working men of their jobs for a week or two so that they might have a vacation.

"One day [he] had a revelation from heaven that he was Christ and in an attack of catatonic [mad] excitement became violent," ended up in a State hospital as a victim of schizophrenia.
