Returning home he found the lost set, and putting it in his mouth for safe keeping, hurried back to the jeweler’s to have that set used instead of the new opal. Rushing into the store he said: “Say, I’ve found the old | set, so dont use that new one.” He attempted to remove the stone from his mouth, gave a gulp, looked sheepish, and said: “I guess you’ll have to use the new stone.” That name needed a bottle of Dr. Calwell’s Syrup Pepsin.
