20 Years
WithHeartTrouble

"Dr. Miles Heart Remedy has
cured me of heart disease of
over 20 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 / commenced taking the
Heart Remedy. / shall never
forget that night. I slept better
than had before in months. I
kept right on getting better, UNI
til I was perfectly we'll"
MRS. LAURA RUSSELL,
Logan, Iowa.
When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells. diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart Rem
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.
