 Mir D. H. Fulton, poSto|ffice box S29, Detroit Mich, says: '1 know what Dreco has accomplished where the joints were swollen. I know what Dreco has accomplished fPr dry joints, so dry that they creaked| when going up or down stairs. I know what Dreco has accomplished for actual cripples, walking on canes or crndches. It has made these people well and happy. and should do the same for you. I want every rheumatism sufferer to go today and get a bottle of DrecP" All good druggists now sell Dredo.
