"Dear Sir, —I am a poor hand at expres ing may feelings on paper, but I should like to thank you, for your lozenges have done wonders for me in relieving my terrible cough. Since I had the operation of 'Tracheotomy' (the same as the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, thank God, I am still alive and getting on well) performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital for abduct, or paralysis of the vocal chords, no one could possibly have had a more violent cough; indeed it was so bad at times that it quite exhausted me. The mucus also, which was very copious and hard, has been softened, and I have been able to get rid of it without difficulty.—l am, sir, yours truly, "Mr T.Keating," " J. Hni. Medical Note. The above speaks for itself. From strict inquiry it appears that the benefit from using Keating s Cough Lozenges is under stated. The operation was a specially severe one, and was performed by the specialist, Dr H. T. Butlin, of St. Bartholo mew's Hospital. Since the operation the only means;of relief is the use of these Lozenges.' So successful are they that one affords immediate benefit, although from the nature of the case the throat irritation is in tense. Mr Hill kindly allows any reference to be made to him.
