X TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH 94, Commercial road, Peckham, July 12. " Dear Sir,—l 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 •i the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, toank God, I am still alive) performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, no one could possibly have had a ..mot* vtttnt cough; it was so bad ai times thafft quite exhausted me. The mucus, which was very copious and hard, has been softened, and I nave been able to get rid of it without difficulty, —I am, sir, yours truly, J. HILL.' HTTERLY UNRIVALLED HTTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for tself. From strict Inquiry it appears that the benefit from using Keating's Cough Lozenges is under stated. The operation waa a specially sever*: 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 tbc 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 WEIGHT IN GOLD Under date September 8, 1891, Mr Hill again writes: "I should long since have been dead, but for your Lozenges— they ore north their weight in gold.
