20 Years WithHeartTrouble “Dr. Mil eg’ Heart Remedy hag cured me of heart disease of over 30 years’ standing. I was so bad that I could not do my work, and could scarcely draw a full breath without fainting or smothering. The doctor told me he could do no more for me; then I commenced taking the Heart Remedy. I shall never forget that night I slept better than I had before in months. I kept right on getting better, until I was perfectly well.” MRS. LAURA RUSSELL. Logan, Iowa. When the heart action li weak, it fails to pump the blood through the longs with sufficient rapidity. Then the lungs do not absorb the proper amount of oxygen, although they may be taking in a normal amount of air. The result is shortness of breath, smothering spells, difficult breathing, oppressed feeling in chest. Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy strengtheaa the heart nerves gnd muscles, and ia this way increases the circulation. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it according to directions, and if it does not benefit he will return your money.
