Rabid Dogs in the East by Bruce Vaughan
"It carries my firm recommendation. In these pages you will find history from a knowledgeable historian, and a fascinating tale of struggle and success from a gifted storyteller."
David
Chapman-Smith. Secretary-General World Federation of
Chiropractic
This book is an historical account of the work of one chiropractic pioneer, who made a significant contribution to the establishment of the chiropractic profession in Hong Kong. Those of us who came later should realize that what is now possible for the profession is due to the foresight and perseverance of individuals like him who had the conviction to go beyond what was then impossible.
