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 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.' UTTERLY UNRIVALLED UTTERLY UNRIVALLED UTTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for tself. From strict inanity it appears that the benefit from using KeatingV 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. Sinoe the operation the only means of relief is the nse of these Loaenges. So suooessful are they that one affords immediate benefit, although from the nature of the ease the throat Irritation is Intense. tt7eightin gold weight in gold Weight in gold Under date September 8, 1891, Mr Hill again writes: "I should long since have been dead, but for your Lozenges— they art worth their weight in gold.
