In May 1935, in the pages of Cosmopolitan magazine (Hearst’s International Combined with Cosmopolitan), A. J. Cronin published the novelette “Country Doctor,” an affectionate look at young Finlay Hyslop, a newly qualified Scottish doctor who assists a seasoned country GP in managing a variety of medical crises. Between 1936 and 1939 Cronin published, as short stories in Cosmopolitan, more of the young doctor’s fascinating cases. Here, collected for the first time in book form, are twelve of Dr. Hyslop’s further adventures.

Surgeon Without a Knife • Delirium Cordis • Better Than Medicine • What Money CAN’T Buy • Profit and Loss • No Imagination • Conduct Unbecoming • Judgment of the Gods • The Man Who Came Back • Inheritance • Night Call • The Third Ingredient
