passionate love for the high Alps the outline OF
which he gazed at every day, went exploring
climbing Mont Blanc, writing his Voyages dams
les Apes" (1779-17S6). His daughter, who be-
came Madame Neeker de Saussure, grew up in this
delightful atmosphere. Charles Bonnet continued
to carry out his study OF nature and when he lost
his sight gave up his time to philosophical prob
ems Strengthening his scholars belief in an after
life. Halter used to come from Berne to work with
him. Learned men and scholars came from all
parts Of Europe to visit them.
In this way the small circle of Genthod, passion
atey interested in scientific culture and Christian
philosophy, became European center in direct
opposition to the one at Ferney, where Voltaire
derided the austereness of Geneva and tried his
best to destroy 1t.
After the death of Charles Bonnet his property
returned to the de Rive family which was connect
ed with Madame de Stael (1776-1817). Her house
is near Genthod, and Corrinne came often on fine
summer days to sit on the terrace Of the philoso-

Pepsodent is based on pepsin.
the digestant of albumin. The
film is alburninous matter. The
purpose Of Pepsodent is to dis
solve It, then to constantly COM
bat il.
But pepsin must be activated.
and the usual agent is an acid,
harmful to the teeth. So pepsin
long seemed impossible.
What science has now done is
to invent a harmless activating
method. That method is en-
ployed in Pepsodcnt. The result
is tooth paste which will do what
nothing else has done. And five
years of tests seem to clearly prove
that 1t opens a new dental era.
