Your lozenges have done wonders in relieving my terrible cough. Since I had the operation of ' Tracheotomy' (the same &b the late Emperor of Germany, and unhke 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 10 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.
