HILL.' ■ITTERLY UNRIVALLED i lITTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for tself. From strict Inquiry it appears that the benefit from using Keating^ Cough Lozenges is under stated. The operation was a specially ■evere one, and was performed by the specialist, Dr H. T. Butlin, of St. Bartho lomew's Hospital. Since the operation the only means of relief is the ose of these Lozenges. So successful are they that one affords immediate benefit, although from the nature of the case the throat irritation is Intense.
