X 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, toank God, I am still alive) performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, no one could possibly hare had a more violent cough; it was no 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 UTTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for tself. From strict inquiry it appeal's that the benefit from using Heating's Cough Lozenges is under stated. The operation was a specially severe one, and was performed by the •pecialiat, Dr H. T. Butlin, of St. Bartho lomew's Hospital. Since the operation the only means of relief ia 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. 117 EIGHT 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— -they are worth their weight in gold.
