Daybreak

DAYBREAK revolves around the crucial necessity driving a young doctor to seek a new treatment for schizophrenia before a lovely patient was doomed to undergo a frontal lobotomy---a brain operation which just might reduce her to a kind of dehumanized zombie.

DAYBREAK is more. It is an engrossing account of a real twentieth-century medical miracle---the pioneering treatment of "hopeless insanity" through use of the drug, Rauwolfia, made from the Indian snake-root plant, a miracle treatment that can lead to cure of the mentally ill.

DAYBREAK is unquestionably the finest medical novel Dr. Slaughter, who is both a physician and surgeon as well as the author of twenty-three other novels.
