yesterday afternoon in the Guild Hall.
"The truth about the liquor interests

heard it before and hundreds got their
first authentic information as to what
the alcohol habit really means. The
educational effects of the campaign
have been far reaching and there is no
doubt but all the work done will bear
fruit later when the same issue is again
laid before the people. All that is
necessary to GUST the saloon is to edu-

During my early life | was a deli

night, had very little appetite, and
was badly constipated. One Of the
men working in the Government

commended Drcco, saying he had used
it in his family with fine results, so
he got bottle for me, and it has
worked wonders in my case. | am
ready to begin my third bottle now
and intend keeping it up, as have
never found any medicine that help
ed me SO much, and l am 66 years
old. My married daughter is also
taking it and is much pleased also.

and limbs, sleep fine at night, and
constipation is entirely gore. l.

that was all got from it. It gives
me pleasure to advise others to take
Dreco."
Drcco is sold and recommended by
