The author, who is recognized as the world's most popular "whodun- says in his foreword that he usually dedicates his Perry Mason books to outstanding figures in the field of legal medicine. "This book," he says, "is dedicated to a doctor ol medicine, one of the kindest and most considerate men I've ever met. He reached the top of the ladder in his chosen profession, and then, in place of taking up golf or yachting, turned his razor-keen mind to a spare time study of the problems of evidence, of law enforcement, and the part the citizen could and should paly in co-operating with the various law enforcement agencies." Continuing, Mr. Gardner says, "I wish more of the influential men of the medical profession would follow in Dr. Minter's footsteps.

need their sharp minds, diagnostic skills, their seasoned judgment in the field of better law enforcement and the better administration of justice." The well-known author further states that Dr. Minter is a mem- her of the board of regents of the University of Texas, and holds many offices in the field of education, banking and medicine. "He is one of the most sympathetic, courteous and thoughtful doctors in the world a. man who is rounding out his career doing good for his fellowman i nthe fields of medicine, education, law enforcement and justice."
