followed the teaching profession. Many
times his thoughts had wandered to
the outside active world of business
and many times he had laid his plans
10 embark upon the voyage which ne
believed would bring him to wealth ana
power.
Each time, however, his departure
was deferred. For fourteen years in
succession the little college in which
he held the chair of mathematics in
creased his salary. The increase was
small, true, but it was enough to an.
able him 10 lay aside a little more each
year, toward the day when he would
enter the business maelstrom and joust
with his fellows.
A little girl was born to him and
his wife Martha. She filled their home
with brightness. Upon her he lavished
all his affection. In turn he was Aer
hero. To him she hastened when he
came from his classroom. Apparently
forgetful of her mother her thoughts

He shared her games. He got as
much enjoyment from her toys as did
she. He was the one who read her
Bedtime story" He was more her big
brother than her father
1t was home of happiness for FL
bert Ramsey. He thought only of the
present and his family-of what he
was going to do for his little daugh-
ter and his wife when he entered the
business arena.
But suddenly all was changed, FL
bert Ramsey fell i'll. For years he had
stuck too closely to his books He had
neglected to take exercise. He had
failed to get the portion Of sunlight
and air which should have been his
His illness was not apparent at first
but nevertheless he was sick. He felt
a strangeness growing up between
himself and the rest of the world. His
love for his family did not diminish
but he lost the power of expressing it,
He was irritable in the classroom
increasingly so. He sharply reprimand
ed without cause the son of the new
ly elected president of the college. The
father called upon Prof Ramsey and
protested gently. Ramsey hotly re-
piled and after a bitter quarrel tender
ed his resignation. 1t was accepted.
Ramsey regretted his action the mo-
ment it was taken. but pride prevented
his admitting his error and apologiz-
ing. He boasted to his wife that now
he was through with the college for
ever and could do as he had planned
to do for many years.
That night Ramsey slept but fitfully
and arose the next morning a nervous
wreck. a sense of depression shadow
ed him. He was unable to read, he
was unable to play with his little girl
He was unable to concentrate his
thoughts. SO it continued. Day after
day he sat brooding, only occasionally
stirring from the house. On one brief
ramble which he took into the town
he met an old college mate and fellow
professor, who was amazed at the
change in Ramsey's appearance.
He stopped Ramsey, though the lat
ter would have passed him by.
Good heavens, old fellow, what's
the matter?" he asked.
Ramsey mumbled a reply and started
to walk on, but his fellow professor
grabbed him by the arm and swung
him about.
Let me see your tongue" was the
demand that Ramsey, puzzled but
obedient, obeyed.
aha! l thought So" was the excla-
nation. Take Pepsinol."
''What?" calculated Ramsey.
Take Pepsinol. Go right into the
drug store here and get a bottle of
Pepsinol. Go home and take a dose.
That will fix you up. I'll be over to
see you tomorrow"
Ramsey, almost in a daze, obeyed.
He took Pepsinol when he retired.
He awoke in the morning refreshed
Shortly after he arose his bowels were
gently moved. He was once more able
to concentrate his thoughts. A dull
headache and pain in the eyes which
he had for many days disappeared
After a hearty breakfast he played
for some time with his daughter. the
first time in two weeks. He chatted
cheerfully with his wife, who had
bravely tried to cheer her husband in
his dependency, n dependency she
was unable to explain.
A long walk in the open air followed,
then luncheon and when Ramsey's fel-
low professor appeared he received a
hearty greeting, much different from
that Of the day before.
How goes it?" he asked
Fine, Charles" Ramsey replied.
But what is this Pepsinol?"
THAT. old chap is a gentle laxa.
tive tonic. I could tell that was ex.
actly what you needed Your digestive
apparatus was completely upset and
your nerves shot to pieces.
II knew that Pepsinol would fix
you up as it did my brother after he
broke down from overwork. Pepsinol
is a strengthener as well as laxa-
tive. Your digestive organs were put
on the road to normal and your nerves
were strengthened. You needed a re-
constructive medicine, not a destruct.
i've. Pepsinol was the one necessary.
If it had not been for Pepsinol you
would have been seriously i'll in u short
time"
"Well my nightmare is over" said
Ramsey, 'and l want to thank you
and Pepsinol."
That evening Ramsey called on the
president Of the college. made a hand
some apology and returned to his work
the next day. He has never considered
leaving there since.
