This proves what Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy will do. Get a bottle from your druggist and take it according to directions. It docs not matter whether your heart is merely weak, or you have organic trouble, if it does not benefit you take the empty bottle to your druggist and get your money back. If you desire a clear complexion take Foley's Onoo Laxative, for constipation and liver trouble as it will stimulate these organs and thoroughly cleanse your system, which everyone needs in the spring in order to feel well.
