In sickness, if a certain hidden nerve goes wrong, then the organ that this nerve controls will, also surely fail. It may be a Stomach nerve, or it may have given strength and support to the Heart or Kidneys. It was Dr. Shoop that first pointed out this vital truth, Dr. Shoop’s Restorative was not made to dose the Stomach nor to temporarily stimulate the Heart or Kidneys That old-fashioned method is all wrong. Dr. Shoop’s Restoritive goes directly to these failing inside nerves. Ihe remarkable success of this prescription demonstrates the wisdom of treating the actual cause of these failing organs. And it is indeed easy to prove. A simple five or ten days test will surely tell. Try it once, and see! Sold by All Dealers.
