She becomes deeply interested in two young people, Nellie Linn and Edward Grant, who are both suffering from the early stages of consumption. For some months they have been taking "Concura," a supposedly-infallible remedy which boasts of hundreds of commendatory letters from cured patients. Nellie, who has been particularly hopeful of being cared by the marvelous medicine, suddenly gets a letter from her cousin telling her that her aunt has just died despite Concura. She shows the letter to Miss Cort, who in a fury of just indignation rushes into the office of the Concura manufacturers to denounce them. To her horror she discovers that her lover is the advertising manager of the Concura company, and that her own father is the actual manufacturer. The scene in which she confronts lover and father in their office is one of stirring intensity. The story ends on Christmas Eve exactly a year after its commencement and shows the wonderful difference the work of this one courageous girl made in many lives.
