This is a sequel to "The Pastor's Son", and is the second book in the set comprised of "The Pastor's Son," this book, and "The Arbiter of Your Fate."

This book points out the fallacy of the popular concept of healing through medication or drugs. This book explains why medicines have no innate power of their own, and also explains the use of thought based on certain principles as the way to health, wealth and happiness, through the "Walter Method" of right thinking.

In this book, it is the daughter who first grasps the mental or "spiritual" concept, and the Doctor is the one who eventually reasons about this and changes his own thought and attitude.
