GOTTLIEB LEHMAN, Prop ' I* Grippe aintl Pneumonia* Pnemuonia often follows la grippe but never follows the use of Foley's Honey and Tar. It cures la grippe coughs and prevents pneumonia and consumption. Ask for Foley's Honey and Tar and re­ fuse * any anbstitnte offered. Mr. G. Vxflher, of 157* Osgood St., Chicago, writes: "My wife had a severe case of la grippe three years ago, and it left her with a terrible cough. She tried a bot­ tle of Foley's Honey and Tar and it gave immediate relief. A 50 cent bottle cured hercongh entirely." Refuse sub­ stitutes. G.
