How to Cure a LaGrippe Cough
Coughs that hang on" demand
treatment. Stop and think! Reason
and common sense tell you that it is
folly to "grin and bear it," Those
racking lagrippe coughs that wrench
the body and cause soreness and
pains in the lungs yield more quickly
to Foley's Honey and Tar than to
any other treatment. Forty years
record of successes proves this. For
coughs, colds, Group and other dis
tressing ailments Of throat, chest,
lungs, larynx and bronchial tubes,
you can find nothing that will com
