To date the pledges in the state amount to $37,083,444, which is 76.2 per cent of the quota, but only $19,565,532 of this amount has actually been paid in. The state, as well as the county, has a huge task in raising the remain der of the quota during the short per iod of a month, but the state organi zation is working hard in a final effort to go over the top.

Headache, rheumatism, urinary dis orders, are caused from weak, .inactive kidneys, which fail to filter out the impurities and keep the blood pure, and the only way on earth to perma nently and positively cure such trou bles is to remove the cause. The great herb medicine, Dreco, ac complishes this, because it reaches the very roots of the disease. It soaks right into the stopped up, inactive kid neys through the walls and linings, cleans out the littje filtering cells and glands, neutralizes and dissolves the poisonous acid substances and drives all the waste matter out of the sys tem. "My wife suffered so she could not rest at night," -declares Noah Goodwin, the well known farmer of Elmwood, N. C, in a Bigned statement. "She had bad pains in the back and limbs and loss of sleep made her nervous and greatly run down. "On the advice of a friend she got a bottle of the new herb medicine, Dreco, and after taking only half a bottle the pains were relieved, and now she rests fine at night. I think Dreco a wonderful medicine and have aske'd my druggists to get some in stock so I can buy more and send my friends to him for it. So sure, so positive, so quick and lasting are the results obtained from the use of Dreco that three doses a day for a few days are often all that is required to correct the worst case of backache or rheumatism, regulate the. most annoying bladder disorders and overcome the numerous other simi lar conditions. You can obtain an original -package ofv Dreco at trifling cost from almost any first-class drug store. It is dis pensed and particularly recommended in Wilmington at Hardin's drug store. adv.
