T7 EATING'S LOZENGES T^EATING'S LOZENGES TTBATING'S LOZENGES "A SiMPLB Fact about" KEATINU'S COUGH LOZENGES. Ask throughout the world, in any country that can be named, you will find them largely sold. There is absolutely no remedy that is so speedy in giving relief, so certain to cure, and yet the most delicate can take them. A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH 94t, Commercial road, Peckham, July 12. "Dear Sir,—l am a poorhand 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, tflank God, I am still alive) performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, no one could possibly hare had a more violent cough; it: was 10 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, air, yours truly, J. HILL.' IITTERLY UNRIVALLED IITTERLY UNRIVALLED ||TTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for tself. From strict inquiry it appears that the benefit from using Keating*s Cough Lozenges is under •tftted. The operation was a specially •evere one, and was performed by th« ■pecialint, Dr H. T. Butlin, of St. Bartho lomew's Hospital. Since the operation the ] only means of relief is the use of these Lozenges. So successful are they that one affords immediate benefit, although from the nature of the case the throat irritation is j intense.

I will gladly see and tell anyone what a splendid cough remedy they are." . Keating's Cough Lozenges, the unrivalled remedy for Coughs, Hoarseness, and _Tnroat Troubles are sold in tins by all Uiemists.
