Ministers Should Use
Dr. Miles' Heart Cure.
TIIERE IS NO PROFESSION, whose
labors so severely tax the nervous sys
tem, as that of the ministry. The de
rangement of the nerve centers of the brain
by over work, frequently brings on attacks
of heart trouble, and nervous prostration.
Rev. J. P. Ivester, M. D., Pastor U. B.
church, London Mills, Ills., himself a physi
cian, writes Feb. 26, 1895: “Heart affection
and nervous prostration had become so
serious last fall that a little over work in
the pulpit would so completely prostrate me
that It seemed certain I
* must relinquish the work
Heart Cure of the ministry entirely.
Heart palpitation became
Restores SO bad that my auditors
TTprtlfU would ask me if I did not
neaiin...... have heart disease. Last
November I commenced taking Dr. Miles'
New Heart Cure alternately with Dr. Miles'
Nervine and derived the greatest possible
benefit. I have just closed revival work of
10 weeks, preaching nearly every night and
twice on the Sabbath. I can speak for hours
without suffering as I formerly did. Hard
working ministers should keep Dr. Miles'
grand remedies on hand."
Dr. Miles' Heart Cure is sold on guarantee,
first bottle will benefit or money refunded.
