He has produced a vast amount of highly scientific research material and is author of the book "Primary Medical Care". I have brows ed (ignorantly) through many of his theses and find that his main lines of study have been on (a) the respiratory tract, and (b) like his father, on primaryhealth habits. Sickness should be prevented, rather than cured. In addition to all the above,he still runs a general practice. When he gets the time, he and his family relax with sea-sailboards, and his personal life is quietly attuned to Christian activities. M.B.

(Theo) Coggin (6164), Box 602, Boksburg, Editor of the Methodist organ "Dimension", travels widely in the interests of his paper and his Church, and can now report it has the widest sales of any English so-called "mainline" church in South Africa.
