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. G r a n t ,
