A Full Dollar's Worth Free 



I will gladly give any sick one a full dollar's 

 worth of my remedy to test. I ask no deposit 

 —no promise. There is nothing to pay, either 

 now or later. The dollar bottle is free. 



I want no reference — no security. The poor 

 have the same opportunity as the rich. The 

 very sick, the slightly ill, invalids of years, and 

 men and women whose only trouble is an oc- 

 casional "dull day" — to one and all I say 

 "Merely write and ask." I will send you an 

 order on your druggist. He will give you 

 free, the full dollar package. 



My offer is as broad as humanity itself. For 

 sickness knows no distinction in its ravages. 

 And the restless patient on a downy couch is 

 no more welcome than the wasting sufferer 

 who frets through the lagging hours in a dis- 

 mal hovel. 



I want EVERYone, EVERYwhere to test 

 my remedy. 



There is no mystery — no miracle. I can ex- 

 plain my treatment to you as easily as I can 

 tell you why cold freezes water and why heat 

 melts ice. Nor do I claim a discovery. For 

 every detail of my treatment is based on truths 

 so fundamental that none can deny them. And 

 every ingredient of my medicine is as old as 

 the hills it grows on. I simply applied the 

 truths and combined the ingredients into a 

 remedy that is practically certain. The para- 

 graphs below will show you the reason why. 



In eighty ■ thousand communities — in more 

 than a million homes — Dr. Shoop's Restora- 

 tive is known. There are those all around you 

 — your friends and neighbors, perhaps — whose 

 suffering it has relieved. There is not a physi- 

 cian anywhere who dares tell you I am wrong 

 in the new medical principles which I apply. 

 And for six solid years my remedy has stood 

 the severest test a medicine was ever put to — 

 I have said "If it fails it is free" — and it has 

 never failed where there was a possible chance 

 for it to succeed. 



But this mountain of evidence is of no avail 

 to those who shut their eyes and doze away in 

 doubt. For doubt is harder to overcome than 

 disease. I cannot cure those who lack the faith 

 to try. 



So now I have made this offer. I disregard 

 the evidence. I lay aside the fact that mine is 

 the largest medical practice in the world, and 

 come to you as a stranger. I ask you to be- 

 lieve not one word that I say till you have 

 proven it for yourself. I offer to give you 

 outright a full dollar's worth of Dr. Shoop's 

 Restorative. No one else has ever tried so 

 hard to remove every, possible excuse for 

 doubt. It is the utmost my unbounded confi- 

 dence can suggest. It's open and frank and 

 fair. It is the supreme test of my limitless 

 belief. 



Inside Nerves ! 



Only one out of every 98 has perfect 

 health. Of the 97 sick ones, some are 

 bed-ridden, some are half sick, and some 

 are only dull and listless. But most of 

 the sickness comes from a common 

 cause. The nerves are weak. Not the 

 nerves you ordinarily think about — not the 

 nerves that govern your movements and 

 your thoughts. 



But the nerves that, unguided and un- 

 known, night and day, keep your heart 

 in motion — control your digestive appar- 

 atus — regulate your liver — operate your 

 kidneys. 



These are the nerves that wear out and 

 break down. 



It does no good to treat the ailing or- 

 gan — the irregular heart — the disordered 

 liver — the rebellious stomach — the de- 

 ranged 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 — noth- 

 ing any physician would dispute. But 

 it remained for Dr. Shoop to apply this 

 knowledge — to put it to practical use. 

 Dr. Shoop's Restorative is the result of 

 a quarter century of endeavor along this 

 very line. It 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 it up and strengthens 

 it and makes it well. 



Many Ailments, One Cure 



I have called these the inside nerves for 

 simplicity's sake. Theirusual name is the 

 "Sympathetic" nerves. Physicians call 

 them by this name because each is in close 

 sympathy with the others. The result is 

 that when one branch is allowed to become 

 impaired, the others weaken. That is why 

 one kind of sickness leads to 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 medicine — is 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 a stimulant — the mere sooth- 

 ing of a narcotic? Don't you see that it 

 goes right to the root of the trouble and 

 eradicates the cause? 



But I do not ask you to take a single 

 statement of mine — I do not ask you to be- 

 lieve a word I say until you have tried my 

 medicine in your own home at my expense 

 absolutely. Could I offer you a full dollar's 

 worth free if there were any misrepresenta- 

 tion? Could I let you go to your druggist 

 — whom you know — and pick out any bottle 

 he has on his shelves of my medicine were 

 it not UNIFORMLY helpful? Could I 

 AFFORD to do this if I were not reason- 

 ably SURE that my medicine will help you? 



Simply Write Me 



The first free bottle may be enough to 

 effect a cure — but I do not promise that. 

 Nor do I fear a loss of possible profit if 

 it does. For such a test will surely con- 

 vince the cured one beyond doubt, or dis- 

 belief, that every word I say is true. 



This offer is open to everyone, every- 

 where. But you must write ME for the 

 free dollar bottle order. ■ All druggists 

 do not grant the test. I will then direct 

 you to one that does. He will pass it 

 down to you from his stock as freely as 

 though your dollar lay before him. Write 

 for the order to-day. The offer may not 

 remain open. I will send you the book 

 you ask for beside. It is free. It will 

 help you to understand your case. What 

 more can I do to convince you of my in- 

 terest — of my sincerity?

 der, for a full
