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 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 so 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.' UTTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for tself. From strict inquiry it appears that the benefit from nsing 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. fIFEIGHT IN GOLD WEIGHT IN GOLD TI7EIGHT IN GOLD Under date September 8, 1891, Mr Hill again writes: " I should long since have been dead, but for your Lozengeß— they are worth their weight in gold.

The Missing Band. § —♦ ■ r Adapted from the French of : > aurelien scholl, '"\ ' " % By E. BRANFILL HARRISON; * CHAPTER IV (Continued). f The old man trembled, £ " How is it you speak of MonteVraia t '1 Have you been there ?" ; " Why, I was there only two or thrct ; days ago." v "What were you doing there?" j " I was with my mother." ~$ "Since when?" 'V* " Why, sir, I have never left her.* \ The old man made a gesture of impa tience. • "When you left the convent, you J made your de"but at the Carl Theatre at * Vienna. From there you went to Milan, ! where you left betiind you an infamous i reputation. 1' -S Clotilde clasped her hands in suppli- '-. cation: \ , " Sir," she said to him weeping: |CI . swear to you it was not I," The visitor got up. " What is your name ?" he asked. " Clotilde de MonteVraln." . " Well! my name is M. de Monte* vrain. Clotilde or Ludka, I have.the rights of a father over you. Will you come with me ?" " Yes, sir," cried Clotilde with joy. "This very instant ?" " This very instant. Only I have just written to my mother to tell her that I have been taken to a house where they. call me Ludka, and I have given her the Rue dv Colysce as my address. I must, write to her." " You shall write to her. Come. 11 " Come !" And she took the old man's arm with an air of satisfaction that seemed to sur prise him. On the threshold Clotilde stopped sud denly, her eyes filling with tears. "Sir!" she said with a trembling voice. "What is it? Have you changed your mind ?" "Oh! No! But, but I should like to embrace you." " Impossible," murmured M. de Mon teVrain : "No, it would be too hard for me." He repulsed her gently, but Clotilda saw his eyelids quiver, and two tears strayed down his pale, wrinkled cheeks. 1 _____ CHAPTER V. Whilst Clotilde was proceeding from surprise to surprise, resigning herself to everything, and relying on the will of God to deliver her, Robert, after the de parture of his friends, betook himself to - Doctor Maibeau. There his grief had full sway. Sob after sob convulsed his deep chest; he fell upon the old doctor's neck, and wept like a child. "Doctor!" he cried: "they have. changed my Clotilde. It is not she who is down there, under her mother's roof. Move Clotilde, and I do not love .this woman whom that man brought back on a shutter. There is a secret that you alone know. Tell me, I implore you." The doctor reflected for a long time. "Do you understand at all what hat been happening ?'; continued Robert. M. Maibeau hesitatingly entered hit study. " Who knows ?'' he murmured: "And yet—in fact, it is possible. What can they have done with her ? I must no longer hesitate. She must be saved.*' And, taking Robert's hand: " Listen," he said. "M. de Monte*vrain was plain and v jealous to excess :He was very conscious > of his plainness, and seemed the victim , of one fixed idea, that his wife deceived * ! him. Never was there more unjust sus picion than that cast upon the good woman whom you know. Louise de Roncay was MonteVrain's cousin; she had been accustomed from childhood to his harsh, repellant countenance, and moody chaiacter. The two families de sired the marriage as a suitable connec tion both in position and fortune. Louisa de Roncay became, without resisting, Mme. de Montevrain. Her life, I can declare, was one long martyrdom. Her husband's jealousy almost amounted to madness ; she resigned herself to living in the country, and never going beyond her garden, and he would make himsel miserable, saying to himself: "She does not love me, she cannot love me 1" " One unfortunate accident tended to confirm this fixed idea. M. de Monte* vrain fell ill; he became feverish, deli rious." " While he was confined to his bed, a young man came to the house. General dela Mire, your father, has probably not forgotten an affair that took place almost under his eyes. The young man was the son of one of M. de Roncay's tenant farmers ; his name was Frederic Latour and he was Mm. de MonteVrain's foster brother. Frederic Latour enlisted In the regiment in which M. de la Mire was then commandant. He was a headstrong; boy, of a violent disposition, and one day he forgot himself so far as to strike an officer who had just inflicted a punishment upon him. He managed to escape and hide, and was condemned to death for contumacy. " Instinctively, he came and knocked at his foster-sister's door. "'Unhappy man 1' said Mme. de Mon* tevrain to him. 'What do you want here?' M' I implore you, Madame, 1 replied , Latour: 'be kind enough to conceal ma . '■ for two of three days. If they find mci I am lost.' "(But what will you do in two or three days V 1 "• There is a collier in the bay which tt returning to England. One *of mf fFtafet who Uon board, will pm rff
