Great (historic) find: Here's the history..........
Company started by Miles in 1884 but he only ran it for a few years before selling out. The Miles company produced many popular remedies including Dr Miles Nervine, Dr Miles Pills, and Dr Miles Alternative Compound. The New Heart Cure came out in 1888 and contained the dangerous compound digitalis.
The Miles company later made famous medicines like Alka-Selzer.
