This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ...a small town physician, were nearsighted when it came to visualizing their world's work. Usually when a country doctor reaches the air-castle stage he begins to turn his mind in the direction of New York and Baltimore, with the idea of turning his feet later.

Meantime it will be wise for you to cultivate your present surroundings as if you intend to spend your life where you are, and to accept your everyday duties as an indispensable part of the world's program.
