Greensboro Man
Gains II Pounds
In Two Weeks
Proximity Carpenter Goes Out Of
His Way To Tell The Story OF His
Deliverance From Pain.
WANTS THE WORLD
TO KNOW OF 1T

'I want to see the Dreco Man,"
= announced a middle aged man as he
crowded his way into the Farriss-
Klutz Drug Store in Greensboro a
few DAYS ago. 81 want to see this
man and tell him what Dreco did for
me and my wife so that he can pub
lish my experience to the world"
The Farriss-Klutz Store was crowd
ed with customers but everybody in
cluding clerks and customers, stopped
and turned to hear what this enthusi-
astic man had to say. And it was
we'll worth their while for he told
an interesting story.
The man, it developed later, was
John Basinger, a carpenter of ProX-
Unity Station, and he has given per-
mission for the publication of his
strange story just as he told it then.
This is what he said:
81 have bought three bottles of
Dreco. My medicine isn't all out but
l came here tonight to tell you how
much good Dreco has done for myself
and wife.
"I bought the three bottles about
two weeks ago. At that time was
so bad off l hadn't been able to work
a whole week.
GAS bad as I need money 1
wouldn't take thousand dollars to-
night for what this medicine has
done for me. My back ached so bad
that it felt like someone was jabbing
a knife into me. I couldn't sleep for
the awful pains I had. If anyone
had slapped me on the back I know
would have tainted.
81 took 16 boxes of a certain kind
of popular kidney pills, have been
treated by good professional men,
and now few bottles of Dreco has
done what all others have failed in,
for tonight I am a we'll and strong
man again, with not pain in my
body.
"See how 1 can stoop and bend
over! How I can hit myself on the
small of my back! It's wonderful
what Dreco has done! sleep so
; sound now that I don't hear the
whistle blow of mornings.
"My wife has suffered from rheu-
matism and Dreco has relieved every
pain in her body. Both of us have
told many of our friends about this
good medicine and / want every suf
fcring man and woman to know
about what it has done for me and
mine"
NOTE: Dreco, referred to in the
! above statement of Mr.. Basinger, is
dispensed by most good drug stores.
1t is particularly recommended and
sold in Abbeville by P. B. Speed
