" 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, tnank God, I am still alive) performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, no one could possibly have 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 been able to get rid of it without difficulty, I am, sir, yours truly, J. HILL.' lITTEKLY UNRIVALLED HTTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for tself. From strict inauiry it appears that, the benefit from using Keating's Cough Lozenges la under- j stated. The operation was a specially severe 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 ia the nse of these Lozenges. So successful are they that one affords immediate benefit, although from the nature of the case the throat irritation ia Intense.
