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, taank 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 ! IITTERLY UNRIVALLED ! lITTERLY UNRIVALLED J The above speaks for teelf. From strict inquiry it appears that the benefit from using Heating's Cough Lozenges is under stated. The operation was a specially aevere one, ana was performed by the speoialiHt, 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 is intense..
