The Just Men Of Cordova Edgar Wallace

"There is in Cordova a Dr. Cajalos. From the exalted atmosphere of the Paseo de Gran Capitan, wherein I understand you have your luxurious suite, no echo of the underworld of Cordova comes to you. Here "-he pointed to the roofs and the untidy jumble of buildings at the farther end of the bridge-"in the Campo of the Verdad, where men live happily on two pesetas a week, we know Dr. Cajalos. He is a household word-a marvellous man, George, performing miracles undreamt of in your philosophy: making the blind to see, casting spells upon the guilty, and creating infallible love philtres for the innocent! He'll charm a wart or arrest the ravages of sleeping sickness."
