A TERRIBLE COUGH A TBRRIBIE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH 94, 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 as the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, tnank God, I am still alive) performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, no one could possibly hare had a more violent cough; it was so bad at times that it quite exhausted me. Tba mucus, which was very copious and hard, hag been softened, and I have been able to get rid of it without difficulty. —I am, sir, yours truly, J. HILL. 1 UTTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY UNRIVALLED Th« above speaks for tself. From strict inquiry it appeara 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 use of these Lozenges. So successful are they that one affords immediate benefit, although from the nature of the case the throat irritation is intense. ttVeight in gold weight in gold Weighs in gold Under date September 8, 1891, Mr Hill Again writes: "I should long since have been dead, but for your Lozenges— they are north their weight in gold.
