Cured Hemorrhages of the Lungs.
"Several years since my lungs were"
so badly affected that I had many
hemorrhages," writes A. M. Ake, of
Wood, Ind. "I took treatment with
k-eral physicians without any bene
fit. I then started to take Foley's
Honey and Tar,' and my lungs are
now as sound as a bullet. I recom
mend it in advanced stages of lung
trouble." Foley's Honey and Tar
stops the cough and heals the lungs,
and prevents serlo"s results from a
cold. Refuse substitutes. A. T. Hill.
