for Coughs, Colds, and Lung Trouble, several manufacturers are advertising
imitations with similar sounding names with the view of profiting by the favorably
known reputation of FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR.
DO HOT BE IMPOSED UPON
We originated Honey and Tar as a Throat and Lung Remedy and unless you get
FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR you do not get the original and genuine.
Remember the name and insist upon having Foley's Honey and Tar. Do not risk
your life or health by taking imitations, which cost you the same as the genuine.

Grip Quickly Knocked Out.
"Some weeks ago during the sever
winter weather both my wife and myself
eontracted severe colds which speedily
developed into the worst kind of la
grippe with all its miserable symptoms,"
lays Mr, J. fi. Kgleston of Maple Land
ing, Iowa. " Knees and Joints aching,
muscles sore, head stopped up, eyes and
nose running, with alternate spells of
chilis and fever. We began using
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, aiding the
same with a double dose of Chamber
lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets, and br
its liberal use soon completely knocked
out the crrip." Sold by Frank Hart and
