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 to 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.' HTTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY UNRIVALLED UTTERLY UNRIVALLED Xh* above speaks for tself. Promitriot inquiry it appears that the benefit from ■wig Keating ■ Cough Lozenges is under* stated.
