writes Mr. C. F. Shoaf of 709 Calhoun
St., Columbia, S. C.
"For montihs I have had a bad case
of gastritis andl my stomach seemedl in
ocapable of dligesting what I ate. I'd
have pains and mty stomach would be
come distended from gas. Severe head
achies often attacked me, and consti
pation was a sourco of daily annoy
ance. I had tried'most of the popular
ly advertised remedlies without much
good result, but as soon as I began on
Dreco, I knew it wasI different for I
felt the effects immediately. It sooth
ed my stomach and neutralized that
acid gas condition. I now go to the
table as regularly on anybody and en
joy my meals thoroughly, and have no
