M ile s ’ H e a rt C u re d M e. C ure The effect of excessive smoking shown by such symptoms as heart pains, heartburn, smothering spells, shortness of breath, flut tering ana palpitation, is most serious. If your heart is in any way affected you should at once begin the use of Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure which enriches the blood, regulates the heart’s action and improves the circulation. “I am a local newspaper man and have been an inveterate smoker since my boyhood. A kttle over a year ago I first noticed symptoms of heart trouble, palpita tion and acute pains and a peculiar, I might say, indescribable feeling across my chest Local physicians said I had ‘tobacco heart’ I quit smoking for a while and took regular dose« of digitalis and belladona with some relief but the same old symptoms were still there. A friend of mine here recently died of what the doctor said was valvular disease of the heart, Knowing that his symptoms were similar to mine I felt that my time too was limited, although I am still a young man, in my thirty-ninth year. In Skillman & Stone’s drug store here Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure was recommended. I began taking it and I can positively state that its effect is marvelous. I have just finished my third bottle and feel like a ‘ kid’ and believe I am cured. This letter is the spontaneous utterance of one who wishes to thank you for benefits received.”— W m . N.
