Declares That Nothing Ever
Did for Him What Dreco,
the New Root and Herb
Medicine, Has Done
Bad. Stomach Trouble
Gastritis, Constipation,
Sluggish Liver, Dizzy
Spells, Nervousness,
Poor Sleep Overcome
for This Well
Known Man

IT am glad to give public indorse-
ment for such a worthy medicine as this
new remedy Dreco, has proven TO be in
nv case, which was bad one, says
Mr.. A. B. Lyons, Deputy Wharfman for
the State Harbor Commission. Mobile,
Ala.
my liver was sluggish and often had
dizzy spells, bad taste in my mouth,
coated tongue. and spots floating before
nv eyes. My kidneys were weak, and
I had dull, aching pains in my back.
After each meal my stomach would be-
gin to swell up with sour gas. and feel
like it would burst. Seemed like l was
full of fire sometimes.
81 dreaded for night to come because
could not sleep, but would roll and loss
from one side of the bed to the other,
and when morning came I would be more
worn out and tired than when l went
to bed the night before.
''Dreco has stopped all that, tnougn'
even the alarm clock fails to- wake me
now. for I'm sleeping so sound. The con-
stipation is entirely relieved: nervous
ness gone. and my liver is acting like a
piece of well oiled machinery. l can't
say enough in praise of this great rem
edv. Dreco."
Dreco is made from herbal plants,
which act on the vital organs in
prompt and pleasant manner and re-
stores them to healthy action.
All good druggists now sell Dreco and
is highly recommended in Birmingham
by Norton Drug company. Dreco is also
sold in Bessemer by the Fulton Drug
company, in Fairfield by Halls phar-
macy, in wylam by Central pharmacy.
