CHARLOTTE MAN OUTsPOKEN
IN PRAISING: -sDRECO.o
Often Had to Get Up 4 or 5 Times ia
Night on Account of His Kidneys.
Everything He Ate Caused
Gas, Pains and DiarrhOea.

"You certainly have fine medicine
in Dreco," said that well known trav-
cling man, Mr.. L. A. Todd, of 705
East Ninth street, Charlotte. "It has
done me worlds of good and I am
glad of a chance to publicly endorse
it, he continued.
Everything l ate would sour on
stomach, form gas and bloat me up,
cause awful gripping in my stomach
and diarrhoea My kidneys we're in
bad shape and the doctor has ordered
me to stop eating meat, and I couldn't
eat vegetables on account of my stom-
ach, so was up against it strong.
81 frequently had to get up four OF
five times during a night on account
of my kidneys. My urine was highly
colored, feverish and had bad odar
the pains in my back were almost un-
bearable I've walked up many night
from those pains to roll and toss till
it was about getting up time. Then
I'd be all worn OIL and felt like sleep
ing more tired than when I went to
bed the night before.
after taking two bottles of Dreco I
am, happy to say I am feeling better
than in many day. My stomach IS
as well as ever in my life, and now
eat corn, beans, potatoes, in fact any
thing crave and it never gives me
a pain or diarrhoea. My kidneys are
all right and I go to bed and never
wake up single time. The pains in
my back are gone, urine is normal
again and am gaining strength every
