The Crystal Button

This science fiction story tells the story of Mr. and Mrs. Prognosis. Mr. Prognosis meets with an accident and loses his memory. In this novel, the author tries to explore problems dealing with memory loss and raises the following questions: Was Mr. Prognosis' thought broken, or merely diverted? Could a man, having the intelligence and training of Paul Prognosis, lose all power of connected thought while the engine of his heart still performed its functions, and his brain, apparently uninjured, continued to receive its full supply of vitalized fluid? Could concussion of the brain mean death to its tissues, while every other part of his body throbbed with vigorous life?
