A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH 04, 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 lozenges 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 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.' lITTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for teelf. From strict Inquiry it appears that the benefit from using Keating's Cough Lozenges is under ■tated. The operation was a specially severe one, and was performed by the Bpecialist, Dr H. T. Butlin, of St. Bartho lomew's Hospital. Since the operation the only means of relief ia 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. VITEIGHT IN GOLD WEIGHT IN GOLD tX7EIGH'X IN GOLD Under date September 8, 1891, Mr Hill again writes: "I should long since have been dead, but for your Lozenges— they are •worth their weight in gold.
