To demonstrate the unusual curative

sion in the chest, irregular pulse, pal
pitation, smothering spells, putting OF
the ankles, or dropsy, DR.. Miles will
send two dollars and a half worth free

paper.
His treatments are the result of
tensive research, and remarkable ex-
perience in treating the various all
ments of the heart, stomach and nerves,
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

every afflicted person should not avail
