CLAIMS IT CURED HIM
OF STOMACH CATARRH
Had a Bad Cough Every Winter
Till This Year-His 10-Year-
Old Son Also Cured of
Catarrh of the Nose
and Throat.

''Dreco has certinly fixed me up in
great shape" said Mr.. NJ K Moore
Of Weverton, Nd. For many years Mr..
Moore had been a conductor on the
b. & o. Railroad and is well known
to thousands Of the B. & o. men.
Il have taken six bottles of Dreco and
it has done for me what many other
medicines have failed to do. Ny stom-
aCh has been in bad shape for a long
time. 1t seemed the delicate Innings were
all worn out. and everything ate caused
me intense pain and suffering; gas would
form in great quantities, sometimes so
bad as to press against my heart and
/ thought it would stop beating. Every
morning l would cough up mucus and
also pass 1t Off from my bowels. That,
] knew, was what is called catarrh of
the stomach. and l had begun to think
1 would never be well again. i had
taken lots of medicine and been treated
by one of the biggest stomach special
lists in the country, but got no relief
from anything. There was so much
praise for the new root and herb medi-
cine, Dreco, I just decided to give 1t a
fair trial, so bought three bottles to
begin on, and youscan believe me or not
before / finished the first one I realized
I had found something that was going
t. benefit me. And today I am here to
state that 1t has cured that catarrh of
Ia. stomach. l can eat anything 1 want
to without the slightest after-trouble. No
gas ever bothers me. no pains, there
has been no more mucus since the first
bottle was finished. I am feeling bet
ter than IN years. Every winter 1 have
always had a bad cough from the first
little cold spell till spring came, but
this year I have missed it, and believe
1t was because Dreco had built up my
system so that 1 didn't take cold as I
used to do.
MY son, 10 years old, has had ca
tarrh of the nose and throat for some
time and I started him on Dreco and
1t has also cured him, and he is look
ing fine now"
Dreco contains herbal medicine Of q
sort that seems to act directly upon
catarrhal conditions, and in some in
stances the results obtained are won
derful. 1t also corrects constipation
and increases the appetite.

Drug Stores, by z. L. Allen & Co., in

over the songs intended for chorus
work Considerable enthusiasm was
manifested by those who did attend

not enough are present at that time to
