BACK ON THE JOB
THANKS TO DRECO
Anderson, S. c. Man was Forced to
Lay Off on Account of Backache
and Kidney Trouble. Well
Again

81 had to lay off from my work
on account of the pains over my kid
neys and in my legs. Ny stomach
was also in bad shape, and gave
much trouble by swelling up with
sour gas, and I frequently had swim
ming in the head, but Dreco, the newi
medicine, has stopped all my trou-
bles, and I'm now able to work reg
ular again, and give all the credit
to this good incidence" said T. E.
Mullinax, of C St., Anderson, S. c.
Thousands of people are needless
ly suffering from disorders Of the
stomach, blood, liver, bowels and
kidneys. Relief is within reach of
all. Many have found !deliverance
from their suffering through the use
of Dreco; the great herbal system
tonic, which is compounded from
Natures own remedies-roots, herbs
barks and berries, which are neces-
sary to health. That is why it re-
generates the blood, overcomes rheu-
ratism; eliminates catarrh; puts
the stomach in good condition and
relieves constipation.
Dreco is widely sold throughout
the country and is highly recon-
mended in Kingstree by the Kings
tree Drug Company.

The Voice of God

Is the voice of God heard by men?
Is it listened to with interest enough
for it's dictations to be plainly under
stood? Is it needed by those who
both hear and understand? The voice
of God is heard by so many who fly
40 in His face to ignore Him and,
cave not interest enough in His voice
to even put forth an effort to under
stand it. The voice of God from with
in man, speaking to thatswhich is
within man, is never heard by some,
because they have stopped up and
clogged up their spiritual ears,
wounding their consciences and go
ing to the extent of committing
spiritual suicide of conscience rela-
tive to right and wrong, and sadly
they 90 on from bad to worse.
There are still those Of US who
both hear and understand the voice
of God, but will persist in disobey-
ing and ignoring its dictations. The
voice of God is speaking to US in
our vocational business, social and
spiritual lives, and if we heed that
voice we will be instrumental IN
bringing blessings from above. Then
will the greatest good" be done to
the greatest number and in that act
the world will help men to feel that
life is worth living. God holds every
man responsible to help make this
world better. Brighten the Corner
Where You Are". Every one should
ask himself this question: "What am
| doing for Jesus as the days go

EDISON PH0NOCRAPHS AND RECORDS
Life-Like In Tone
HERE'S WHAT The
MINNEAPOLIS DAILY
news SAYS.

Experts from the laboratory OF
Thomas A. Edison, with the aid of
Madam Marie Rappold, Of the Net
ropolitan Opera Company, demon
strated Friday night in the Audito-
rum that the inventor has attained
such perfection in reproducing the
human voice that it was actually
impossible for large invited audi
ence to distinguish between the pri-
ma donna's voice and the Edison Re-
Creation of it."
Those in the audience familiar
with. Madam Rappold's voice were a
trile astonished-the voice they
heard seemed unquestionably hers,
although they faced the visible evi-
dence of her closed lips. Then Mad
am Rappold's lips opened, and her
voice poured out. There were two
voices in the Auditorium now. Here
it became evident that, although
Madam Rappold was singing, her
voice was matched - perfectly by
the voice in the cabinet that it was
impossible to distinguish between
the two"
