" Dear Sir, —I am a poor hand at express ing my feelings, but I should like to thank you. Your lozenges have dene wonders in relieving my terrible cough. Since 1 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 could 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.' ■ ITTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY UNRIVALLED ■ ITTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for tself. From strict Inquiry it appears that the benefit from using Keating's Cough Lozenges is under stated. 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 cose the throat irritation is Intense. \ 'fjrTEIGHT IN GOLD TI7EIGHT IN GOLD ' WEIGHU IN GOLD Under date September 8, 1891, Mr Hill asain writes: "1 should long since have bien dead, bu for your Lozenges-*^ «** Vert* their wagkt in gM I will gladly see and tall anyone what a splendid cough remedy they are." . , Keating's Cough Lozenges, the unmralled rsmedy for Coughs, Hoarseness, and Throat Troubles are sold in tins by all Chemists.
