Are you constantly annoyed with headaches, pains in the stomach, fullness, and distress, belching, vomiting, nausea, furred tongue, heartburn and other stomach disorders? Stomach trouble is a disease, general in its nature, and having many symptoms, resulting not from the foods we eat, not from the conditions under which we live, but rather from the nerves being affected in some way, disturbing the proper function or work of various organs of the body. This condition must be corrected in the nervous sytem, allowing the nerves to feed each organ with the proper amount of energy necessary to carry on its normal work. Dr. Sims and members of his staff specialize in correcting conditions of this nature in the nervous sytem, thereby eliminating all possible causes of stomach trouble.
