A Tale of the Middle West. 12mo, cloth, net $1.25.
The story of a "doctor of the old school" with every element which
makes a novel worth the reading, plot, character delineation, setting,
style--all are here. Intensely human, natural, humorous, pathetic,
joyous. The originality of the plot piques the reader's curiosity
and the most jaded devourer of novels will find himself irresistibly
held in delightful suspense. The sentiment and suggestion and mellow
philosophy which run through the story are altogether delightful.
