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 is the 'ise of these Lozenges. So successful are they that one affords immediate benefit, although from the nature of the case the throat irritation 1b Intense.
