Your lozenges have done wonders in relieving my terrible cough. Since 1 had the operation of • Tracheotomy ' (the same as the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, tflank God, I am still alive) performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, no one could possibly hare had a more violent cough; it was so bad at times that it quite exhausted me. The mucua, which was very copious and hard, has been softened, and I have j been able to get rid of it without difficulty, | —I am, sir, yours truly, J. HILL. 1 lITTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY 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 was a specially aevere 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. WEIGHT IN GOLD WEIGHT IN GOLD WEIGH'JO IN GOLD Under date September 8, 1891, Mr Hill again writes: "I should long since have been dead, but for your Lozenges—O<y art nwfh their weight in gold. I will gladly see and tell anyone what a splendid cough remedy they are." , Kea.ting's Cough Lozenges, the unrivalled remedy for Coughs, Hoarseness, and Throat Troubles are sold in tina by all Chemists.
