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, m certain to cure, and yet the most delicate can take them. A TERRIBLE COUGH X TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH 94, Commercial road, Peckham, July 13. " Dear Sir,-—I am a poor hand at express ing my feelings, but I should like to thank f you. Your loawiges 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, tnank God, I am still alive) performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, no one coulS possibly have 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.' JITTERLY UNRIVALLED UTTERLY UNRIVALLED JITTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for tself. From strict inquiry it appears that the benefit from uung Keating's Cough Lozenges is under stated. The operation was a specially severe one, ft.no, 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 is intense. TIT EIGHT IN GOLD WEIGHT IN GOLD WEIGH'jD IN GOLD Under date September 8, 1891, Mr Hill again writes: "I should long Bince have been dead, but for your Lozenges— they art worth their weight in gold. I will gladly see and tell anyone what a splendid cough remedy they are." t Keating's Cough Lozenges, the unrivalled remedy for Coughs, Hoarseness, and Throat Troubles are Bold in tins by all Chemists.
