HIS NEICHBORS
TRIED TOSHARE
THEIR SUPPLY
The New Medicine Dreco Was Doing
Them SO Much Good, were Willing
to Divide, if Only They Would
Try 1t.

Mr.. ]. B. Parham and wife, the
we'll known farmer who lives on
Route 5, Athens, Ca, were telling
their experience with the new medi-
cine Dreco recently. They said, "It
was through Mr.. Griffith, after he had
used nine bottles of Dreco in his
family, that l began to see the light.
l noticed the wonderful change in my
neighbors; they looked different,
their faces wore an expression of
gladness; their compilations were
fresher; -Said their appetites were
great and insisted so that we try Dre-
co that they offered to share their
supply with US, if only we would try
it. I have since appreciated their gen.
erosity.
"My wife and both had malaria,
and it left US with chronic gastritis.
We dreaded to eat because of the
gas formation that bloated our stom-
achs and bowels and pressed on our
bladders and brought on whole
train of female symptoms in my wife
that broke down her health.
"But it is all so different now?
Dreco has done a wonderful work
for both of us. We eat without fear
of the results; sleep sound; no more
gas or bloating and our blood stream
is purified. Our health is restored
and Dreco did it.
Many grateful people are daily tes-
tifying to the wonderful merits of
this great herbal remedy Dreco
which cleases the blood and revives
the activity of the vital organs.
All progressive druggists now sell
Dreco and it is highly recommended
in Americas by Americus Drug CO.

that looks homemade lies in the use
of trimmings. In buying clothes OF
making them at home it is we'll to re-
member that over-elaboration and
meaningless ornament mar the beau
ty of a gown.
Trimmings should not only har-
monize with the character of the
dress-lace, for example, would not
be used on tailored cloth suit--but
should equal the quality of the mate
