From the dust jacket: "This is a tale of a dynamic Scots-American millionaire with a passion for scientific research. Financed by him a Dago professor manufactures a pacific serum, and a lady scientist endeavours to create life---to the horror of her orthodox relations, the formidable Admiral and General de Bouffre. The story tells how the chemical baby rewarded her efforts and what were the consequences of overdoing the pacific spirit."
An early take on eugenics, featuring an experiment to create a pacifying serum and another to breed a homunculus for dubious purposes.
