A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH 94, Commercial road, Feckham, 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 m the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, tnank God, I am still alive) performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, no ope could possibly hare 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 IJTTERLY UNRIVALLED IjTTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for teelf. From strict inquiry it appears that the benefit from using Keating's Cough Lozenges is under stated. The operation was a specially fQvere one, and was performed by the »pe«»li»t, Dr H. T. Butlin, of St. Bartho lomew's Hospital. Since the operation the only means of relief is the -i»e of these Lozenges. So sttctfeasful are they that one affords immediate benefit, although from the nature of the case the throat irritation is intense. txieight in 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 are worth their weight in gold.
