A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH ' •4, 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 lozenge* 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 hare had a more violent cough; it was ap Dad 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, youra truly, J. HILL.' UTTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERI^ UNRIVALLED UTTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for taelf. From strict inquiry it appears that the benefit from using Keating'B Cough Lozenges ia under stated. The operation waa a specially severe one, and waa performed by the specialist, Dr H. T. Butlin, of St. Bartho lomew's Hospital. Since the operation the only meana of relief is the -we of these Lozenges. So successful are they that one affords immediate benefit, although from the nature of the case the throat irritation is intense. \TFEIGHT IN GOLD WEIGHT IN GOLD WEIGHT IN GOU) Under date September 8, 1891, Mr Hill again writes: "I should long since have been dead, but for your Lozengea— they art worth their weight in gold.
