It distinguishes itaelf .especially by pain, and by pain which is hest described as agonizipg. The pain literally transfiaes the patient, generally radiating from the heart to the left should- er and down the arm. The face shows the picture of terror, and is deadly white, or livid: To a person suffering from this „species of heart trouble or from palpitation or fluiterieg of the heart, alaortness of breath, or emotheiing spells, the value of Dr, Agruivr's Cure for the Heart cannot be estimated, as it will give releif in 30 minutes in every case, and if judiciously Wed, effect a cure.
