Cored 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
several 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 Tu
stops the cough and heals the lungs,
and prevents serious results from s
cold. Refuse substitutes. A. T. Hill.
