A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH 84, Commercial road, Peckham, July 12. " Dear Sir, —I am a poor hand at express ing my feelings, but I should like to thank you. Your lozenges have done wonders in relieving my terrible cough. Since I had the operation of ' Tracheotomy' (the same m the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, t-tank God, I am still alive) performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, no one could pouibly hare had a more violent cough; it was io bad at times that it quite exhausted me. The mucus, which wan very copious and hard, has been softened, and I have been able to get rid of it without difficulty, —I am, sir, yours truly, J. HILL.' lITTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY UNRIVALLED UTTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for taelf. 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. Bartho. lomew's Hospital. Since the operation the only means of relief is the ise of these Lozenges. So successful are they that one affords immediate benefit, although from the nature of the case the throat irritation is Intense.
