Book Description

Excerpt from Doctor Jones' Picnic I must confess that I offer this romance to the read ing public with no little trepidation. I am fully aware of having transcended the ordinary rules and paths of legitimate romance, and that I have presumed to broach fearlessly the deep things of God. The s00pe of the work is infinitely beyond the remotest thought of the writer when he began this labor; but as it grew, deepened and broadened upon his hands from day to day, like Noah's dove he could find no rest for the sole of his foot, and found it impossible to stop short of the Millennium. The author is ready to substantiate the marvelous cures performed by Dr. Jones, for they are cases from practice. One of the objects of this work is to stimulate scientific investigation of the law of cure which guided the worthy Doctor in his selection of the remedy in a giv en case. As to whether Silver Cloud and her achievements be possible or not, I am not specially concerned. And whether there are air currents in the upper deep, as de scribed within these pages, is a matter of little or no con sequence. We are desirous of being fair and magnani mous, and will let the burden of proof rest upon the other fellow.
