DROPSY TREATED FREE
BY Or. Miles, the Great Specialist,
Who Sends 1915 Trial
Treatment Free.
Many Report Cured After Doctors
Failed.

At first no disease is apparently
more harmless than dropsey; little
swelling of the eyelids, hands, feet,
ankles or abdomen. Finally great
shortness of breath, cough. faint spells,
sometimes nausea and vomiting, and
lingering and wretched death If the
dropsey is not cured.
DR.. Miles has been known as lead
ing specialist in these diseases for 30
years His liberal offer of 1913
Treatment free to all sufferers is GER
tainly worthy of serious consideration.
You may never have such an opportu-
nifty again.
The Grand Dropsey Treatment con-
sists of four dropsy remedies in one,
also Tonic Tablets and Pura-Laxa for
removing the water. The treatment
is specially prescribed for each pa
tient and is three times as successful
as that of most physicians. 1t u.s.
ually relieves the first day, and re-
moves the swelling in six days in most
cases. Delay is dangerous.
Send for Remarkable Reports Of Cures
All afflicted readers may have Book,

Free. Write at once. Describe your
