The Experience Of Well
known and Reliable Persons
Impressed Him, so He Acted
for Himself.
Now Declares He is Free From
Rheumatism, Constipation,
Stomach Troubles, Sluggish
Liver and Nervousness,
Thanks to Dreco.

Il read in the papers about how
these folks right here at home got over
their sickness by taking Dreco. so |
thought what would do them good,
would do me good also so | got Dreco
too" said Mr.. John Moriarity, wood
worker with the Richmond Safety
Gate Co., who lives at 105 n. Goth St,
Richmond, Ind.
I've been sick for quite while and
have tried many remedies recommend
ed for my troubles but none reached
me; | was daily constipated: my
stomach panied me and after meals
I'd get nauseated, have aching pains
and feel that a lump was choking me
in my throat Ny liver was inactive
and often spots danced before my eyes.
giddy spells attacked me and I'd have
| splitting headaches. l had dull.
aching pain in my back. in the region
of my kidneTs; my nerves were on
edge so I couldn't sleep.
IF any one doubts what they read
here. they can come to my address and
| I'll tell them how DreCo gave complete
relief from these troubles; I'm like a
new being. full of strength, energy and
vitality. Dreco did the work for me. -
The underlying cause of most stom-
ach troubles, such as gas. belching.
indigestion, dyspepsia. sour risings,
foul breath, acidity. heartburn, etc.
seems to be faulty or impaired nutri-
ton of the digestive tract 1t is the
height Of folly to try to drown a sick
stomach with patented medicines or
deaden the nerves with dope pills.
You must use Natures own methods
by reaching the cause of the trouble
first. Once remove the cause and see
how quickly all stomach troubles
vanish.
All good druggists now sell Dreco
and it is highly recommended in Rich
mond by Thistlethwaite's Drug Stores.

LAST Friday they met the "Harps'' Of

The first period was fairly close and
interesting, but that was only sort
of tuning-up process. After that
there was some music, with Ellis
worth doing all the playing The
final score was Sc to IA in favor of
Ellsworth. The "Harps," 1t is said,
was an unbeaten team when it came
to Ellsworth. On the same evening
the Ellsworth high school team met

score of 20-18. A return game be-

Most men think they are doing a
pretty good job when they keep one
furnace and the kitchen fire going a
winter like this. Listen to this:
Edward Haney of Ellsworth, janitor
of three schoolhouses and one
church, two of the schoolhouses be-
ing separated by something like two
miles, has kept nine furnaces and
five stoves going this winter, mostly
with wood, and green wood at that,
and handled 1t himself, putting it in.
And he has kept his buildings COM
fortably warm, kept his paths shov-

winter than in all the twenty-eight
years he has been at this work put
him on that. He is up every morn

sion required. and walked to the
Ellsworth Falls school and back once
or twice every week. Some job, eh,
for one man? Yes, but hear this:
Mr.. Haney is seventy-eight years old.
Now beat it if you can.
Hoyt Smith of East Lamoine, as
we'll known in Ellsworth as in his
home town, had a narrow escape
from being drowned like a rat in a
pail last Thursday. Mr.. Smith went
alone to the mineral spring o nthe
hill, IOf water. Inc SHOW ana Ice
were high around the cement-walled
spring, and as Mr.. Smith was dipping
the water in pail, the snow gave
way beneath him, and he plunged
into the spring. The water in the
spring is something like six feet deep
and the cement sides and bank of
snow and ice around the spring af-
forded no hand-hold. To add to his
difficult position, he had dislocated
one shoulder in his fall into the
spring. Mr.. Smith was almost ex-
hausted and had about given up hope
when he succeeded in reaching a
board that had fallen from the roof
Of the spring house ,and with the as
sistance of this dragged himself from
the spring. His cries for help had
been heard by man far down the
hill, who reached him after he had
succeeded in getting out, and assisted
him home. Aside from his dislocat-
ed shoulder, Mr.. Smith seems to have
suffered no ill effects from his try
ing experience and exposure.
