A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH §4, Commercial road, Peckham, July 12. 11 Dear Sir,—l am a poor hand at expreas lng my feelings, bat 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 m 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 oough;it jtm go oad at times that it quite exhausted me. The mucus, which was very copious j and hard, has been softened, and I have been able to get rid of it without difficulty. —I am, sir, yours truly, J. HILL.' ■ITTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY UNRIVALLED UTTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for taelf. Fromstriot Inquiry it appears that the benefit from using Keating'*; Cough Lozenges Is under stated. The operation was a specially ■ever* one, ana was performed by the medalist, Dr H. T. Butlin, of St. Bartho lomew's Hospital. Since the operation the only means of relief is the <ue of these Loceoges. So successful are they that one affords immediate benefit, although from the nature of the case the throat Irritation Is Intense. WEIGHT IN GOLD MTBIGHi!
