Strnnge Case OF Roanoke Bridge Works
Man Told for the First Time.
Troubles Are All
Over Now.

Perhaps one OF the strangest cases
ever brought to the attention OF the
newspaper reading public is that OF
G. II. Perdue, the well-known member
Of the operative staff of the Virginia
Bridge Works at Roanoke.
Mr. Perdue was afflicted with form
Of nervousness arising from stomach
trouble. it would appear and his mall
ady would sometimes take 4 peculiar
turn.
II could never enjoy the movies, as
they made me seasick," he declares. II
had dizzy spells when ! walked In the
sun, and my head would spin like a
top. There were only certain few
things that my stomach would accept.
and even then l suffered terrible pains
afterwards
II was advised to take a treatment
Of the new herb medicine, Dreco, that
we hear so much about lately. and
figured that while it might not do me
much good, still it couldn't make my
condition any worse. so | bought some

did that now. because Drcco has been
the cause OF making new person Of

DIR. Perdue's friends are congra tu-
lating him on his recovery from what
seemed like chronic affection OF the
stomach and nervous system. and he
has been the means OF bringing Dreco
to n number of other sufferers.
Dreco Is scientific comb inat ion OF
good old-fashioned roots, herbs, barks
and berries. 1t contains absolutely no
dangerous mineral salts or harmful
metallic drugs. 1t has been recon-
mended strongly for stomach. kidney,
liver. nerve and blood disorders, and
already there arc hundreds of men
and women right here in this section
who are taking 1T with excellent re-

lacking in this quality. They either take life
too seriously or on the other hand they don't
do enough thinking to know how to take it
at all. Life is serious enough, but it is also
very funny when one gets the right light on

their sanctity or that the elemental motions of
the spirit shall not be revered; but the little
annoyances of every day, the foolish frets
about clothes and eating, the conventions of an

good way to control dislike or difficult peo-

in ones companions types that one takes
delight in their conduct as demonstrations of
human nature. Sometimes it helps to be
pharisaical and remember "For We suffer fools
gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise" The
other fellow may not have learned so much
about self-control as we have, so we will be
tolerant, even generous, and give him the
benefit Of every doubt.
