HILL.' ||TTERLY UNRIVALLED lITTERLY UNRIVALLED IITTERLY UNRIVALLED The above speaks for taelf. Fromstrlot inquiry it appears that the benefit from usuig Keating's Cough Lozenges is under stated. The operation was a specially ■evere one, and was performed by the ■pecialist, Dr H. T. Butlin, of St. Bartho lomew'a Hospital.
