Every Joint and muscle in my body was so stiff and sore It was misery for me to get around. Another annoying complaint, and one which no doubt accounted for my' rundown condition, was the fact that I'd have to get up almost hourly every nlghc to relieve my kidneys and then, when I'd get back In bed again, I'd find great difficulty in getting to sleep again. I suffered with constipation, had hut little appetite and my arms were broken out with rash due to the Impure condition of my blood. "In just two months Dreco has built me up In every way. I've gained 25 pounds of much needed weight, the rash has left my arms, my bowels are regular, I can sleep most all night long without being called up by -my kidneys and the pains In my back and limbs have practically disappeared.

I am not yet completely well but am so greatly Improved In every way that I feel sure another bottle of Dreco will finish the work." Dreco goes right to the vital spot, toning up "the organs that are weak and aiding them to operate as nature intends. That is why Dreco brings such prompt relief to the stomach and bowelsTand eliminates the poisons from the bloo4 which cause aching joints and catarrh.
