"Had Ibsen been a novelist, and had he chosen Mr. Herrick's theme in 'The Healer,' he might have written much the same sort of a novel."—The Dial.
"Of extraordinary vividness—a book of power."—Chicago Tribune.
"Mr. Herrick has written a novel in which every page has sustained interest, though we think he does not intend the reader to grasp the full moral purport of his story until he reveals it himself in the last paragraph. We credit the writer not only with possessing a high ideal, but also with having carried out his object with great artistic success—two things which are unhappily not often found between the same covers."—London Athenæum.
"...exceedingly well done."—Bookman.
"...bears directly upon great evils in society to-day."—N.Y. Times.
