X TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH §4, Commercial road, Peckham, July 12. 41 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 have had a more violent cough; it was io bad at times that it quite exhausted me. The mucus, which was very copious »nd hard, has been softened, and I have been able to get rid of it without difficulty, —I am, sir, yours truly, J. HILL.' I lITTERLY UNRIVALLED i UTTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY UNRIVALLED The above Bpeaka 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, ana 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. WEIGHT IN GOLD WEIGHT IN GOLD WEIGHS IN GOLI) Under date September 8, 1891, Mr Hill again writes: " I should long since have been dead, but for your Lozenges— they art worth their weight in gold. I will gladly see and tell anyone what a splendid cough remedy they are." Heating's Cough Losenges, the unrivalled rsmedy for Coughs, Hoarseness, and Throat Troubles are sold in tins by all Chemists.
