X TERRIBLE COUGH , A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH 84, 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 dene 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 i posaibly have had a more violent cough; it was bo 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 UTTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for tself. Prom strict Incjuiry it appears that the benefit from using Keat ing's Cough Lozenges is under stated. The operation was a specially severe one, and was performed by the ■pecialist, Dr H. T. Butlin, of St. Bartho lomew'a 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. WEIGHT IN GOLD tITEIGHT 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 art north their weight in gold. I will gladly see and tell anyone what a splendid cough remedy they are." Keating's Cough Lozenges, the unrivalled rsmedy for Coughs, Hoarseness, and Throat Troubles are sold in tins by all Chemists.
