Heart Failure

OF the many deaths from heart
failure very few realize in advance
the seriousness of their condition.
When the heart shows a weakness,
such as palpitation, short breath,
pain in chest and in side, it needs
attention just as much as other
organs do when they fail to do their
work we'll. For any condition of
heart trouble you can rely on
DR.. Miles Heart Remedy.
It will strengthen and regulate the
heart action, and enable it to over
come the strain upon its weakened
condition.
