E F. AF DEPUTY CLERK E. F. SCHAEF-' a FER, OF ORPHANS COURT, t ALLENTOWN, PA., CANT a PRA3SE DRECO F ENOUGH c Relieved Him of Dizzy Spells, Spots' I Before Eyes?Constipation and Headaches. i a 'Tor iearo I havs had a sluggish liver; spots danced before my eyes; t I had dizzy spells and headaches; was r .constipated and had pains in my back t just over my kidneys. I haVe taken I several bottles of Dreco, and in addition to being relieved of my trou- ( bles mentioned, I have gained j'in \ weight and feel better than I have in years. My nerves are steady; I \ sleep well, arid never have that tired, 1 sluggish feeling. Dreco did the work i for me." c People who are run down, tired I out, debilitated?no matter what the cause?are advised to take a /spoonful of Dreco with each meal for a few P. days and watch the change. The ap- : petite increases; tnei*e is no dyspepsia i after meals. The bowels, kidneys' and stomach work in harmony, and the rich, red blood goes coursing through the veins. This is what hun-^ dreds of men and women say Dreco has done for them. Dreco is made from juices and ex-] tracts of many medicinal herbal plants which act on the vital organs in a pleasant and prompt manner. Dreco is highly recommended in Abbeville by P. B. Speed, Druggist. WRITES OF GOOD ROADS. Suitor Pr.ss and Banner: Every one is familiar with the picture displayed by the promoters of ;he good roads movement. This pic:ure presents, side by side, but on two different roads, two wagons, Jeach irawn by two mules, and seemingly )n their way to the nearest market. The mules of one wagon are struggling hard to pull one bale of cot;on through mud hub deep; the mules( >f the other wagon are promenading gulling twelve bales of cotton on a I smooth surfaced road. ll Which road do you prefer? B Of course there can be only one an- B >wer. Now, the good roads move-'H nent is on in the United States and S ts momentum will subside only when ;he whole country will be crossed in' jvery direction by permanent highways. Abbeville county will be no exception. But a few roads will be built to >egin with; and until the completion >f the whole system (which comple;ion will take a long time) only a few :itizens of the country will receive ;he benefit of the permanent roads, 1 n# nonnlp will have U1U WK1C XUOJ VI IVj vx fwf.v ;o rely, as heretofore, on the present I oads to carry on their business. H In regard Abbeville county, espec- I ally, its roads are shamefully hilly, I lot only at the approaches of our I rivers, creeks and branches, but I jverywhere else. I If Abbeville county builds one or I ,-wo permanent roads across or B S RSALCAR | economy in usir 9* * ij $ lick that there is in M ?only the larger i f the truck comends it particularto farmers, and her business men. le famous Model motor assures re1 ' 3 iDie power, ana anganese bronze certain the use of e three-point susoility, and vanadiPrice, without Detroit. INOLD ' ;round the county, it is no exaggera ion to say that a small minority oi is our steep roads will absolutelj irevent us from increasing the actua :apacity of our loadings. In my opinion the grading on a lev (1, as much as practicable, of our act lal roads by competent engineers ihould be the first step towards th< mprovement of Abbeville county'i lystem of highways. When this regrading will hevi >een done, then the improved perma lent highways could be located in elligently and in a manner to be o >enefit/to any farmer in the county I would gladly vote for any amoun >f bonds having this objective ii riew. I submit the above observations fo vhat they may be worth, with th( lope that they might be of some hel] n finding the solution of the problen if building a road system of whicl Abbeville county should be proud of E.
