Stomach troubles would more quickly disappear if the,idea of treating the cause, rather tnan the effect, would come into practice. A tiny, inside, hidden nerve, says Dr. Shoop, governs and gives strength to the stomach. A branch also goes to the Heart, and one to the Kidneys. When these “inside nerves” fail, then the organs must falter. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative is directed specifically to these failing nerves. Within 48 hours after starting the Restorative treatment patients say they realize a gain. Sold by all dealers.
