A big and purposeful story interwoven about the responsibilities and problems in the medical profession of the present day. Dr. Weaver, a noted specialist, and head of a private hospital, had allowed himself to drift away from the standards of his youth in his desire for wealth and social and scientific prestige. When an exposé of the methods employed by him in furthering his schemes for the glorifying of the name of "Weaver" in the medical world is threatened, it is frustrated through the efforts of the famous doctor's younger brother, Dr. Jim. The story is powerful and compelling, even if it uncovers the problems and temptations of a physician's career. Perhaps the most important character, not even excepting Dr. Weaver and Dr. Jim, is "The Girl," who plays such an important part in the lives of both men.
"The story becomes one of those absorbing tales of to-day which the reader literally devours in an evening, unwilling to leave the book until the last page is reached, and constantly alert, through the skill of the author, in following the characters through the twisted ways of their career."—Boston Journal.
"The story is well-written, unique, quite out of the usual order, and is most captivating."—Christian Intelligencer.
