Your lozenges have dene wonders in relieving my terrible cough. Since I had i the operation of ' Tracheotomy' (the same i as the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike i 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 io 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. 1 UTTERLY UNRIVALLED UTTERLY UNRIVALLED UTTERLY 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 levere 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 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.
