Specialist note

According to the Medical Times, where the present work was featured on the cover in May 1961, "The doctor on this month's cover evidently named his boat NO-CAL in honor of the many ladies in his practice who come to him with their weight problems." (Medical Times, vol. 89, no. 5, May 1961, p. 192a)
