FOREWORD.
It is not necessary for an author in these
later days, always to be able to say, he
writes of his own knowledge. This has be-
come a recognized fact. He may write from
another's experience, in whose honesty and
reliability, he has as much, and sometimes
more confidence, than in his own personal
sense. This is the case with this little book,
treating of a subject of interest to the whole
world, to-day. For six years I have had the
MSS. almost ready for the printer. Now,
with the encouragement and helping hand
of my Dear Comrades of the Hermetic
Brotherhood, I am bid to let it-go forth.
May it be a help to the ONCE ATLAN-
TIAN BORN, wherever they may be.
W. P. PHELON, M. D.
