" Dear 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 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 waß 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 Ke&ting's Cough Lozenges is under stated. The operation was a specially ■evere one, ana was performed by the •peoiali»t, Dr H. T. Butlin, of St. Bartho. lomew'a 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. WEIGHT IN GOLD WEIGHT IN GOLD WEIGH! IN GOLD Under date September 8, 1891, Mr Hill again writes: " I should long since have been dead, but for your Lozenges—£&ry aft wwth their weight in gol4> I will gladly see and tell anyone what a Bplendid cough remedy they are."
