X TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBIE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH 94, Commercial road, Peckham, July 12. " Dear Sir, —I am a poor hand at express ing my feelings, but I should like to thank you. "Your Sozenges 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 could possibly hare had a more violent cough; it was ao 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 UTTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY 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 waa 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 nse of these Lozenges. So successful are they that one affords immediate benefit, although from the nature of the case the throat irritation is intense. TTTTEIGHT IN GOLD ■lITEIGHT IN GOLD TX7EIGH.T IN GOtD Under date September 8, 1891, Mr Hill i again writes t "I should long since have been dead, but for your Lozenges— they are worth their weight in gold.
