We'll, Thanks to Dreco.

"When I began taking Dreco I was
in awful shape after eating my stom-
ach would ache, swell up and get hard
as a rock. I was never able to get
any breakfast at all. My. .liver was
dull and I had dizzy spells, foul
breath and bad taste in my mouth.
My kidneys were out of order, which
gave me pains in my back and rheu-
matism of the joints. I have taken
two bottles Of Dreco and my pains
are all gone now. I eat three big
meals every day, and never have
those stomach pains. The dizzy
spells have ceased and I sleep fine.
Dreco is great" are the words of Mr.
M. C. Bryant, 1913 Crescent Ave-,
Spartanburg, S. C.
Dreco is compounded from the
juices and extracts of medicinal roots
herbs, barks and berries. There is no
doubt about the value of this great
medicine for stomach disorders, weak
kidneys, sluggish liver, constipated
bowels, nor for cleansing the blood
of poisons and impurities, thereby
eradicatinp rheumatism and catarrh
Scores of people have testified to its
merits; many of them after all other
remedies and doctors had failed to
help them, and all declared Dreco
had restored their health.
Dreco is now sold by all good drug
gists throughout the country and is
especially recommended in Abbeville
by P. B. Speed.-Adv.
