LA GRIPPE-PNEUMONIA
So many people who have apparently recovered from an attack of La Grippe are stricken
with Pneumonia. This is due to the fact that the Bronchial Tubes and Lungs are left weakened
and unable to resist disease.
Foleys Honey»Tar
■ not only cures La Grippe Coughs, and prevents Pneumonia, but strengthens the Lungs so they I
will not be susceptible to the development of serious lung troubles. Do not take chances with B
some unknown preparation that may contain some harmful drug when FOLEY’S HONEY AND B
TAR costs you no more and is safe and sure. Contains no opiates. B
II had a bad case of La Grippe about ten years ago which left my Lungs
so weak that I have been troubled more or less every winter since until I used
FOLEY’S HONEY AND TAR, which cured me completely and my Lungs
Bo longer trouble me.—J. H. BROWNING, D.D.S., Orrick, Mo.
C. VACHER, 157 Osgood St., Chicago, says; “My wife had a very
severe case of La Grippe, and it left her with a very bad coueh She tried
s bottle of FOLEY’S HONEY AND TAR and it gave immediate relief.’*
Three sizes—25c, 50c, $1.00. The 50-eent size contains two and one half times as much as tho small size and
the $1.00 bottle almost six times as much. Refuse Substitutes.
