Once during John Harvey Kellogg's youth one of his best friends needed some minor surgery. Adults laid the boy upon the kitchen table, and the doctor went to work while John and several other boys peered curiously through a window. The sight of blood sickened John. Several days later his mother, Ann Kellogg, chanced to inquire what her son planned to be when he grew up. Immediately the reply came, "Anything except a doctor."
Fortunately, Kellogg failed to keep his vow. He became an M.D.—and more. Everything he tried, he did well. His talent and leadership created successes on every hand.
But a man's life is more than triumphs. It is also his failures, his joys and sorrows. Dr. Richard Schwarz deeply probes the fascinating, complicated, controversial life of a human being who was a strange combination of strength and weakness.
Here is a biography you will not soon forget.
