I'M SURE IT'S THE
GRANDEST MEDICINE
EVER SOLD HERE
Greenville Lady Gives Highest
Praise For New Herb Remedy.
Was All Run Down and Suf-
fered Terribly.
WELL ON ROAD TO RECOVERY

Any remedy that restores the nat
ural functions of the human body is
Matchmaking remedy. The use
of Dreco, the great herb medicine,
tends to restore the appetite, to
procure natural digestion, which is
followed by an increased circulation
and nutrition of the whole body.
Lean, haggard, bloodless people be
gin to gain weight, strength and
flesh at once from taking Dreco, as
they themselves declare in signed
testimonials. For instance. Mrs.
Maud Blackwell the well known resi-
dent of Greenville, says: 81 was
one of the worst run down women
of Greenville. My water was al
ways bloody, would hurt and burn.
I suffered from female troubles and
when 1 would eat there would be a
lump come in my stomach. I would
have to gasp for breath. I have
taken one bottle of Dreco. I have
gained several pounds already but
as l am not entirely we'll yet l am
taking my second bottle and expect
to keep it up for it is helping me
very much. Pm sure it's the grand
est medicine ever sold in Greenville
and Pm telling everybody about it. !"
People who are run down, tired
out, dcbilitated, no matter what the
cause, are advised to try this simple
little test. Get from any we'll stock
ed drug store bottle of Dreco
Take a spoonful with each meal for
few days and watch how the
change works through the entire
body. The appetite increases. Ev-
erything you eat seems to taste bet
er. There 81 no dyspepsia or gas
after every meal. The bowels, kid
neys, liver and stomach work in
harmony and the rich red blood goes
coursing through the veins. This is
what hundreds of men and women
of this section say Dreco has done
for them. Isn't it reasonable to ex-
pect it can do the same for you?
Dreco is sold by progressive drug
;tores and pharmacies everywhere
md is particularly recommended in
Abbeville by P. B. Speed.-Adv.
