Since I had the operation of ' Tracheotomy' (the same as the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, tnank God, I am atill alive) performed at St. Bartholomew^ Hospital, no one could possibly have had a more violent cough; it was »o bad at times that it quite exhausted me.

HILL.', lITTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLST UNRIVALLED IITTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for tself. From strict Inquiry it appears that the benefit from using Keating'a Cough Lozenges is under- Btated. 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 in Intenee.
