"Food Burned In My Stomach" i I This S. C. Merchant Says He Often Vomited Up His Meals. Dreco Has Relieved All His Troules. "I have frequently vomited up my, meals that I had just eaten, on account of having such a weak stom-j ach," declares that well known merchant, Mr. W. D. Blackwell of In-J man, S. C. "Everything I ate burned like fire in my stomach, and soured, forming foul gas which bloated me up. I got very nervous and bilious; often had! spells of heartburn and my bowels were bound up ^11 the time. One of my customers one day ad-( vised me to try Dreco, as it had help-, ed her so much, and she sure did me a good turn by giving me this advice, for I am in better shape now than I have been for years. My appetite is big, yet my stomach digests everything I eat and it gives me strength and does not lie heavy or burn as it used to. I have not vom\ ited once since I finished the first bottle of Dreco. My bowels are regular, nerves steady, liver acts fine?in fact, I've got my old time , "snap" and vigor and Dreco is due all the credit for this great change ' in my condition."

When a wave of laughter! swept over the chamber following a brief colloquy between Senator Lodge and Senator Reed, of Missouri, Mr. Marshall ordered that the galleries be cleared, but agreed to rescind the order after Mr. Reed, Senator Poindexter, of Washington, of Washington, Republican, and others had protested. The incident occurred when Senator Lodge, in a digression, declared that with the league in operation the United States could not punish a Mexican border depredation until after three months deliberation by the league's council and its decision, required "within a reasonable time." Senator Reed remarked that the decision might be deferred 3U years j after the border depredation and Senator and spectators broke into laughter.
