" Dear Sir,—l am a poor hand at express ing my feelings, but I should like to thank you. Your Ewenges 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, taank 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 tad 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 UTTERLY UNRIVALLED UTTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for tfjelf. From Strict ioewry it appears that the benefit from ntmg Keating's Cough Lozenges is under stated. The operation was a specially severe one, and was performed by th« specialist, Dr H. T. Butlin, of St. Bartho lomew's Hospital. Since the operation the only means of relief is 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. *jr7EIGHT IN GOLD WEIGHT IN GOLD tXjEIGHfI IN GOLD Under date September 8,1891, Mr Hill aeain writes: "I should long since have been dead, but for your Losenges- -tfuy are Zkh their weight in gold.
