Stomach troubles would more
quickly disappear if the idea of
treating the cause, rather than
the effect, would come into
practice. A tiny, inside, hidden
nerve. says DR.. Shoop, governs
and gives strength to the
stomach. A branch also goes
to the Heart and one to the
Kidneys. When these "inside
nerves" fail, then the organs
must falter. DIR. ShooD's Re.
storative is directed specifically
to those failing nerves. With
