Your lozenges have done wonders m relieving my terrible cough. Since I had the operation of ( Tracheotomy ' (the same 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 bo bad at times that it quite exhausted me.

I often suffer from Chronic Bron- chitis ; your Lozenge is the only remedy which gives me immediate ease.
