A Bond Of Sympathy

The inside nerve system is plainly
the most important system in the
human body. Our life rests on the
action of the vital organs. While they
work we live. When they stop we
die. While they perform their duties
properly we are well. When they per-
And the vital organs, each and every
system, for 1t not only regulates
The work Of the inside nerves is
not only the most important-it Is
the most laborious. For our other
nerves are exerted only at will. We
think and talk and exercise only as
we feel inclined. ana wnen we are
tired we rest. But the stomach, the
heart, the liver. the kidneys. must
constantly and continuously-day and
night-fresh or tired. perform their
necessary duties. We have no way
Of knowing even that they are tired
or at fault save the weakening of the
organs that supply.
But this strong bond of sympathy
has a useful purpose. For 1t shows
us clearly that all are branches Of
one great system-that II we make
the system strong we strengthen
every branch. This is why so many
ailments can be cured by one form
Of treatment. For almost. all sick
ness Is nerve sickness-inside nerve
sickness and other kinds OF sickness,
such as purely organic arrangements
are frequently due to lack Of proper
inside nerve treatment.

he was pronounced out of danger.

Many AiIments...0ne Cure

have called these the inside
nerves for simplicity's sake. Their
usual name is the sympathetic"
nerves. Physicians call them by this
name because they are SO closely
allied-because each is in such close
sympathy with the others. The result
Is that when one branch Is allowed
to become impaired, the others weak
Ell. That Is why one kind of sick
ness leads into another. That is why
cases become complicated" For this
delicate nerve Is the most sensitive
part of the human system.
Does this not explain to you some
OF the uncertainties Of medicines
1t not a good reason to your mind
why other kinds Of treatment may
have failed.
Don't you see that THIS is NEW
In medicine? That this is NOT the
mere patchwork Of stimulant-the
mere soothing of narcotic? Don't
you see that it goes right to the root
of the trouble and eradicates the
cause?
But 1 do not ask you to take a
single statement Of mine-I do not
ask you to believe a word I say until
you have tried my medicine in your
own home at my expense absolutely.
Could l offer you a full dollars worth
free If there were any misrepresenta-
ton? Could let you go to your drug
gist-whom you knOw-and pick out
any bottle he has on his shelves of
my medicine were it not UNIFORM
I.Y helpful? Could AFFORD to do
this If I were not reasonably SURE
that my medicine will help you?

Inside Nerves

Only one out Of every SO has per-
feet health. OF the 81 sick ones,
some are bed-ridden, some are half
sick. and some are only duh and list
less. But most of the sickness comes
from n common cause. The nerves
are weak Not the nerves you ordi-
narily think about-not the nerves
that govern your movements and
your thoughts.
But the nerves that, unguided and
unknown, night and day, keep your
heart In motion-control your diges-
tive apparatus-regulate your liver
operate your kidneys
These are the nerves that wear out
and break down.
1t does no good to treat the ailing
organ-the irregular heart--the dis
ordered liver-the rebellious stomach
the deranged kidneys. They are
not to blame. But go back to the
nerves that control them. There you
will find the seat of the trouble.
There Is nothing new about this
nothing any physician would dispute.
But 1t remained for DR.. Shoop to ap-
ply this knowledge-to put 1T to
practical use. DR.. Shoop's Restora-
tive is the result of quarter GEN.
fury Of endeavor along this very line
1t does not dose the organ or deaden
the pain-but It does go at once to
the nerve-the inside nerve-the
power nerve-and builds II up. and

means a sure knock For this
nerve Is ten times as sensitive as the
pupil of your eye. Yet the solar
plexus is only one Of the centers of
the great inside nerve-the power
nerve. 1t Is ono OF the master
nerves. The stomach is its slave.
Practically all stomach trouble is
nerve trouble-inside nerve trouble
solar plexus trouble. Dr. Shops Re-
storative strengthens the inside
nerves--strengthens the solar plexus
and the stomach trouble disappears.

For Liver Troubles

The liver. like the kidneys. is also
a. blood filter. 1t Is regulated and
cbttrolled by a branch of the stom-
ath nerves Mine out Of ten suffer
at dome time with liver trouble. The
iA$tde nerves which actuate 1t are
dettcate and sensitive. The slightest
strain, such as over-eating etc, Is
ln<ely to weaken the nerves. The re-
sllt Is dullness and lassitude and
b1lfousness which breed other illness.
Then take DR.. Shops Restorative. a
few doses of which will sufficiently
strengthen the control nerves to SET
the ailing organ right. Liver pills
and other ordinary remedies can give
no permanent relief

For the Home

gency remedy. because 1t goes direct

Restorative will brighten many a dull
day, will freshen the spirits and in
crease the appetite. 1t Is not a cure

oughly control the vital functions

each manifest their first effect on the
inside nerves. This Is evident when
you realize that these nerves are the
very source of human vitality and
power. There Is no other way to re-
store human vitality than by
strengthening it's fountain head-the
inside nerves. For every organ, every
act of life, depends on them. They
are the masters-the organs their
slaves. DR.. Shops Restorative is
the most effective remedy known In
cases IL this kind. 1t has stood the
test of time. No other remedy even
claims to reach the inside nerves.

art Of self defense. When is taken
into consideration the short time for
preparation, the past environments
of the champion and his utter lack
OF experience. Jeff has done some-
thing no other champion. aside from
Corbett. has ever done. He has ac-
tually gotten on the stage and failed
to make a monkey of himself. The
crudeness of his acting Is something
to be overlooked at this time. The
play itself is one to attract the kind
OF an audience which goes to see the
big pugilist and 1t can be said OF him
truthfully that he plunges ahead Of
any other champ who has tried a
sideshow stunt on the much pestered
boards. SO it's good boy. Jen!
