When the Stomach, Heart, or Kidney nerves get weak, then these organs always fail. Don’t drug the Stomach—nor stimulate the Heart or Kidneys; That is simpdy a makeshift. Get a prescription known to Druggists everywhere as Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. The Restorative is prepared expressly for these weak inside nerves. Strengthen these nerves, build them up with Dr. Shoop’s Restorative —tablets or liquid—and see how quickly help will come. Sold by A. F. Long.
