A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE 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 yon. Your lozenges have done wonders in relieving my terrible cough. Since I had the operation of ' Tracheotomy' (the same t »s the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, taank God, I am Btill alive) performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, no one could possibly hare had a more violent cough; it was io bad at times that it quite exhausted me. The mucus, which was very copious »cd hard, has been softened, and I have been able to get rid of it without difficulty. —I am, sir, yours truly, J. HILL.' ■ ITTERLY UNRIVALLED ■ jTTERLr UNRIVALLED lITTE^LY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for tself. From strict inquiry it appears that the benefit from using Keating's Congh 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 nse 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 ti7eight in gold Weight in gold Under date September 8, 1891, Mr Hill again writes: "I should long since have been dead, but for your Lozenges—*fo?y are worth their weight in gold.
