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 hare had a more violent cough; it was bo 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. 1 UTTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for tsolf. From strict ] Inquiry it appears that the benefit from j using Keating'a Cough Lozenges is under- j stated. The operation was 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 ia the ise of these Lozenges. So successful are they that one affords immediate benefit, although from the nature of the case the throat irritation is Intense. YTTEIGHT IN GOLD WEIGHT IN GOLD IUEIGHJ} IN GOLD Under date September 8, 1891, Mr Hill again writes: "I should long since have been dead, but for your Lozengea—they are worth their weight in gold. I will gladly see and tell anyone what a splendid cough remedy they are." , Keating's Cough Lozenges, the unrivalled remedy for Coughs, Hoarseness, and Throat Troubles are sold in tins by all Chemists.
