A reporter recently called at this famous
seat OF learning and was shown into the
room OF the President, Prof. Alvin p. Bar
naby. When last seen by the reporter Prof.

was apparently In the best Of health. In
response to an inquiry the professor said:
"Oh, yes, an much better than for some
time. am now in perfect health; but my
recovery was brought about In rather pe-
culiar way"
"Teu me about It," said the reporter.
"Well, to begin at tho beginning" said
the professor, II studied too hard when It

the professions. After completing the COM
mon course 1 came here, and graduated
from the theological course. entered the
ministry, and accepted the charge Of q
United Brethren Church at small place l.
Kent County, Mich. Being Of On ambitious
nature, I applied myself diligently to my
work and studies. In time noticed that
my health was failing. My trouble was in
digestion, and this with other troubles
brought on nervousness.

some time, and advised me to take q

and was some improved. Soon after,
came here as professor in physics and
chemistry, and later was financial agent Of
this college. The change agreed with me,
and for awhile my health was better, but
my duties were heavy, and again found
my trouble returning. This time 1t was
more severe, and in the winter I became
completely Frustrated. I tried various
medicines and different physicians. Finally,
was able to return to my duties. Last
spring was elected President Of the COL
lege. Again had considerable work, and
the trouble, which had not been entirely
cured, began to affect me, and last fall I
collapsed. I had different doctors, but
none did me any good. Professor Bowman,
who is professor OF natural science, told
me OF his experience with DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and urged me to
give them trial, because they had bene-
flied him In similar case, and concluded
to try them.
"The first box helped mo, and the second
gave great relief, such as never had OK
