SOLVED. Book about the way scientists and doctors made medical discoveries, written for the layman [s]

[Flo]

Looking for a book written probably in the 1940's called something hunters...I think. All about the way scientists and doctors made medical discoveries. The book is strictly for the layman.

Flo, I've moved your thread down to Unsolved since that is where it belongs.

What age group was this book aimed at--teens in an effort to interest them in the sciences, NA, Adults?

Microbe Hunters is the first one that comes to my mind, (and the one I linked to is a re-issue, so it really is much older than the date listed.)

Another thought is Microbe Hunters: Then and Now

I remember reading both for a college chemistry class back in the mid to late 70's.

Microbe Hunters it is! I think I still have my copy bought 50 odd years ago when I was in my early 20s.

Thank you very much, Ann. Nice to know there's a sequel.
