A falling tiny nerve-no larger
than the finest silken thread-takes
from the heart its impulse,
its power, its regularity. The
stomach also has its hidden or inside
nerve. 1t was DR.. Shoop who first
told US it was wrong to drug a weak
or failing stomach, heart or kidneys.
His prescription-Dr. Shosp's Restor-
atiye-is directed straight for. the
cause of these allments-these weak
and faltering inside nerves. This, no
doubt clearly explains why the Re-
storative has of late grown so rapidly
in popularity. Druggists say that
those who test the Restorative even
for a few days soon become fully con-
vinced of Its wonderful merit. Any

Pilgrim found that his way grew
brighter as he advanced. Perfect day
awaited in the City that hath no need

the eight hundred occupants of the
island are agitated by the hope that
some of them may also be pronounced
