Your lozenges have done wonders m relieving my terrible cough. Since I had the operation of • Tracheotomy ' (the'sama 1 as the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, thank 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.
