Dr. Campion's Patients. By W. G. Waters. (Eden, Remington, and
Co.)—" Dr. Campion's patients" are a number of gentlemen who fly from the world to a queer kind of refuge, which might, indeed, be called the house of a "mad-doctor." Some of these tell their stories, explaining the causes which brought them where they are. The idea has a certain novelty about it, and it is well worked out. "Mr. Elalas's Story," in which the narrator tells how he obtained, lost, and recovered a certain very precious sapphire, is as good as any.
