The old fashioned way of dosing a weak stomach, or stimulating the Heart or Kidneys Is all wrong. Dr. Shoop first pointed out* this error. This Is why hie prescription—Dr. Shoop’s Restorative-—ls directed entirely to the cause of these ailments —the weak Inside or controling nerves. It isn’t so difficult, says Dr. Shoop, to strengthen a weak Stomach, Heart, or Kidneys, if one goes at it correctly. Each inside organ has its controling or inside nerve. When these nerves fall, then those organs must surely falter. These vital truths are leading druggists everywhere to dispense and recommend Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. Test it a few days, and see! Improvement will promptly and surely followSold by afi dealers.
