Missionary Jonas Wilder and the Apostle Spirit
A long narrative recounts Dr. King’s missionary journeys across foreign lands for over four decades. It follows Jonas, a Massachusetts farm boy who becomes a preacher in Paris and Jerusalem, aided by Mr S V Wilder who funds his path, and culminates in Wilder’s return to his old home with the gift of tea and a pledge to support the gospel. The tale ties to American missionary stories and mentions Whitman and other preachers in approving tone.

It notes ratbane as most common and links habit to perceived strength, while cautioning on cold exposure and the need for gradual activity to prevent colds.
