To-day is the first time in two

ter has had on her Shoes and she is
feeling stronger and better than in
many months" are the words of Lula
Pope of Route l, Huntsville, who is
member of one of the best thought of
coIored families in this county.
my daugter has had catarrh of the
head and stomach; badly constipated;
often had headaches; dizzy spells; was
very nervous; couldn't sleep; had no
appetite. and her stomach seemed al
most dead, for no food seemed to do her
any good She was weak and puny
and seemed not to take any interest
in anything.
1T was sure a good friend of mine
who advised me to give her Dreco, for
this medicine has sure brought her out
and got rid of all her troubles; she is
picking up every day and looks bet
ter than she has in a long time. Dreco
is sure fine medicine, and l am mighty
glad l found out about it,"
Dreco is composed of the juices and
extracts of many different roots. herbs,
banks and berries, which act on the
stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels and
purify the blood. 1t relieves constipa-
ton, prevents gas forming in the
stomach increases the appetite; insures
sound refreshing sleep; banishes ca
tarrh of the head and takes the pain out
of rheumatic joints.
All good druggists now sell Dreco
and is highly recommended in Birming
ham by Norton Drug company, Dreco
is also sold in Bessemer by the Fulton
Drug company, in Fairfield by Halls
pharmacy, in Wylam by Central pharm
acy.--Adv.

plants have resumed operations, partic-
ulary in the Liege district where some
of the mills were completely demolished
