Herbert offers an entertaining and insightful overview of local medicine from the origins of medical practice in the Spartanburg region to the late twentieth century. Residents of the area and present-day medical practitioners and their families will be particularly interested in the biographical section, which contains material gathered from the obituaries of over a hundred well-known physicians who practiced in Spartanburg, while history buffs and antiquarians will find the accounts of eighteenth and nineteenth-century medical methods, diagnoses, and treatments especially informative. A long chapter on Spartanburg Hospitals contains, in addition to many facts about and photographs of clinics and hospitals in the area, anecdotes about the physicians who practiced in them, an account of the World War I influenza epidemic, and information about the highly important work done in Spartanburg with pellagra patients. Two sections on the County Medical Society contain historical information as well as lists of officers both past and present.
