The old fashioned' way of dosing a weak Btomach, or stimulating the Heart or Kidneys is all wrong. Dr. Shoop first pointed out this error. This is why hie prescription—D7. Shoop’s Restorative—is 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 fail, then those organs mußt surely faster. 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 ail dealers.
