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 ao bad at times that it quite exhausted me. The mucus, which was 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 Th« above speaks for tself. 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 ia the -ise of these Lozenges. So successful are they that one affords immediate benefit, although from the nature of the case the throat irritation ia intense.

I will gladly see and tell anyone what a splendid cough remedy they are."
