If your stomach, Heart or Kidneys are weak, try at least, a few doses only of Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. In five or ten days only, the result will surprise you. A few cents will cover the cost.' And here is why help comes so quickly. Dr. Shoop doesn’t drug the Stomacn. nor stimulate the Heart or Kidneys. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative goes directly to the weak and failing nerves. Each organ has its own controling nerve. When these nerves fail, the depending organs must of necessity falter. This plain, yet vital truth, clearly tells why Dr. Shoop’s Restorative is so universally successful. Its success is leading druggists everywhere to give it universal preference. A test will surely tell. Sold by All Dealers.
