'• Dear Sir,—l 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, t/iank 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 waa very copious and hard, has been softened, and I have been able to get rid of it without difficulty. X am, sir, yours truly, J. HJLL.', UTTERLY UNRIVALLED j UTTERLY UNRIVALLED UTTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for tself. From strict Inquiry it appears that the benefit from using Keating's Cough Lozengea is under stated. The operation waa 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 is the ise of these Lozenges. So successful are they that one affords immediate benefit, although from the nature of the caße the throat irritation is Intense. TTTEIGHT IN GOLD WEIGHT IN GOLD WEIGH'!
