It isn’t so difficult to strengthen a weak Stomach if one goes at it correctly. And this is true of the Heart and Kidneys. The old fashioned way of dosing the Stomach or stimulating the Heart or Kidneys is surely wrong! Dr. Shoop first pointed out this- error. “Go to the weak or ailing nerves of these organs,” said he. Each inside organ has its controlling or “inside nerve.” When these nerves fall then those organs must surely falter. This vital truth is leading druggists everywhere to dispense and recommend Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. A few days test will surely tell! Sold by all dealers.
