Ask throughout the world, in any country that can be named, you will find them largely sold.' There is absolutely no remedy that is so speedy in giving relief, bo certain to cure, and yet the most delicate can take them. A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH 94, Commercial road, Peckhatn, 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 hare had a more violent cough; it was ao 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 UTTERLY UNRIVALLED UTTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for tself. From strict inquiry, it appears that the benefit from using Keating's Cough Lozenges is under stated. The operation was a specially severe one, and was performed by the ■pedaliat, 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.
