I H ’USk fkr HEART DISEASE! Fluttering, No Appetite, Could Not Sleep, Wind on Stomach. “For a long time I had a terrible pain at my heart, which fluttered almost incessantly. Iliad no appetite and could not sleep. I would be compelled to sit up in bed and belch gas from my stomach until I thought that every minute would be my last There was a feelling of oppression about my heart,, and I was afraid to draw a full breath. 1 could not sweep a room without resting. My husband induced me to try Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure and am happy to say it has cured me. 1 now have a splendid appetite and sleep well. Its effect was truly marvelous.” kJRS. HARRY E. STARR, Pottsville. Pa. Pr. Mlles Heart Cure Is sold on a positive guarantee that the first bottle will benefit.
