Stopped Cough After Flu
“I want to say that Foley’s
Honey and Tar is the best
cough medicine I ever tried,”
writes E. B. McDowel, R. F. D.
1, Box 119, Arlington, Tenn.
“My son had Influenza. He
had the worse knid of a cough
and I tried everything, but
nothing did any good. God
sent me a friend with Foley’s
Honey and Tar and his cough
was better the next day and in
two days he had no cough at
all.” Foley’s Honey and Tar
stops harsh, racking coughs;
eases wheezy breathing. It is
effective, yet pleasant to take.
