If you or members of your fam
lily are in danger of Pneumonia or
Consumption or other fatal lung
troubles, don't waste time expert
menting, commence at once the use
of that tried and reliable remedy.
Foiey's Honey and Tar.
For over a quarter of century
it has been a general household
favorite and its cures have been so
remarkable that physicians rely
upon it as a preventive of Con-
sumption and Pneumonia.
For coughs and colds, Group

lung troubles you cannot find the
equal of Foiey's Honey and Tar.
