A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH 94, Commercial road, Peckham, July 1£ " Pear 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-iate 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 so 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.' lITTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY 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 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 is the ise of these Lozenges. So successful are they that one affords immediate benefit, although from the nature of the case the throat irritation ia intense. TTMTEIGHT IN GOLD WEIGHT IN GOLD WEIGH'!
