In sickness, if a certain hidden
nerve goes wrong, then the organ that
this nerve controls will also surely
fail. 1t may be a Stomach nerve, or
1T may have given strength and sup
port to the Heart or Kidneys. 1t was
DR.. Shoop that first pointed to this
vital truth. DR.. Shops Restorative
was not made to dose the Stomach
nor 60 temporarily stimulate the

Restorative goes directly to these fail
ing inside nerves. The remarkable
success of this prescription demon
strates the wisdom of treating the
actual cause of these failing organs.
