Sirs/Madam: I tried to post this book review at its full-length,and and even after it was cut in half, did not post. Please advise.
You’re Only Old Once!
by Doctor Seuss, Random House, New York.
If laughter is the best medicine, then
You’re Only Old Once!
is a delightful new defense
against aging. I highly recommend it for children from 7 to 70.
Anyone who has even su
bmitted to a battery of medical tests will
e
mpathize with Dr.
Seuss’ Everyman in this wry book. In it we follow our hapless hero through his checkup

you’ve been properly pilled,
then a few paper forms
must be properly filled
so that you and your heirs
may be properly billed.
As a prolific writer of children’s books, Dr. Seuss’ satiric social commentaries won him
countless
adult fans.
You’re Only Young Once!
was published on his 82nd birthday
and is aptly described as a book for
“obsolete children.”
In this age of highly technical and scientific methods, medical treatment is often reduced
to impersonal finding and cold
