TAR HEEL FARMER SAYS 1T
QUICKLY HELPED HIS WIFE
Shed Twist and Turn All Thorug,l
the Night.-But New She Sleeps
Like a Baby.-Tells What Did

The burdens of life are not equally
borne by men and women.
Women too often suffer from some
weakness that was never intended
for them by nature.
When trouble or hard work or ex-
citement have rendered the nerves SO
wide-awake that sleep is denied, the
over-tired brain must be helped to get
quickly back to its healthy normal
condition or serious mischief cnsues.
Dreco, the wonderful herbal medi-
cine aims to accomplish this as moth
ing else ever has done. It's mission
is to bring the disabled, debiliated
nervous tissues the peculiar nerve
food which they must have to build
Up their parts.

in the back and limbs, constipation,
headaches, and, worst of all, sleep

but would wake up soon and would
lay and hear the clock strike every
aour rntil morning. She would twist
and turn all night and was always
more tired in the morning than when
she went to bed.
ga friend told US of Dreco and how
it had helped just such a case as this
and so we decided to give it a trial.
We're mighty glad we did that now
because it certainly gave US splendid
results. My wife sleeps like a baby
now, all night long. Her pains are
gone and she now has good appe-
tite. the first time for years. I want
three more bottles of Dreco now, so
we both can take it as l believe It

Dreco is known throughout the Tar
Heel State as the one herbal medicine
that accomplishes results in cases OF
severe stomach trouble, constipation,
rheumatism and similar ills.
It is sold by all good druggists and
is recommended strongly in Newberry
