A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH A TERRIBLE COUGH 94, Commercial road, Peckham, July 12. « Dear Sir,—l am a poor hand at express ing m y 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 aa the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, tnank God, I am Btill 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 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'* Cough Lozengeß is under stated. The operation was a specially ■ever© 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 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.
