A few cents will cover the cost. And here is why help comes so quickly, Dr. Shoop doesn't drug the Stomach, nor stimulate the Heart or Kidneys. Dr. Shoop's Restorative goes directly to the weak and failing nerves Each organ has its own controlling nerve. When these nerves fail, the depending organs must of necessity falter. The plain, yet vital truth, clearly tells why Dr. Shoop's Restorative is universally success! Its success is leading druggists to give it universal preference.
