To demonstrate the unusual curative

short breath, pain in the side, oppres-
sion in the chest, irregular pulse, pal
the ankles, or dropsy, DR.. Miles will
send two dollars and a half worth free

paper.
His treatments are the result OF
twenty-five years of careful study, ex.
tensive research, and remarkable ex-

which SO often complicate each case.
So astonishing are the results of his
complete special treatments that he
does not hesitate to offer all persons a
free trial.
Nothing could be more generous. Few
physicians have such confidence in their
remedies. There is no reason why
every afflicted person should not avail
themselves of this exceedingly liberal
offer, as they may never have another
such opportunity. No death comes so
suddenly as that from heart disease.
