till Oreco Restored her health.

Il am gaining strength rapidly,
nerves are quiet, / sleep sound and
have a good appetite, since taking
Dreco," said Mrs. Iva Carter of 1904

For decades physicians have pre-

ton, sluggish liver. weak kidneys and
to purify the blood

their disturbing influence, and II

quarters the opinion prevailed that
sterling is on its way back to the

the possibility that the present
strength results principally from
short covering and that German op-

points to 1889 cents, the effect OF

by somewhat less favorable weather

whether this event has been as
thoroughly discounted as so many
