The principal reason that the fame

would do, has good word for it and
never misses chance to speak of it.

recently received Of Mrs. Daisy Jones
of 429 Sixth street Northwest, Mrs.
jones husband is steamboat Pilot
on the Potomac River and has been
for a number Of years and is widely
Known. She says, Il have received
splendid results from your medicine

Standing case Of constipation, liver
sad kidney troubles. suffered awful
pains in my back and limbs, was very
nervous and at times had splitting
headaches. My tongue was coated
breath foul and bad taste in M
mouth and my stomach would fill ur
with gas and My food seemed to sour.
i am now on my second bottle OF
Dreco and the constipation is entire
y relieved: pains all gone from my
back and limbs. liver is acting well
which of course eliminated the bad
breath and coated tongue. My APP
petite is good and my food digests
without forming gas anymore. | am
feeling better generally, and gladly
recommend Dreco to all persons suf-
fering as | was" We can refer any
one to dozens OF people right here III
Washington who have used Dreco and
gotten equally as good results as Mrs.
Jones did. Dreco the great root and
