Dene Sic poor hand at expressing my, fecibags Tat Isbofhl, like to thank you. Your lozenges have done wooden in relieving my terrible cough. Stres I had the operation. of Tinchoutoniy (the same as the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, thank God, I wan still alive) performed at St. Bartholomew's Bas pital, no one could possibly have haul a more Violent ecugh; it was so bad at times that it quite uxlavated rae. The micus, which was Yery copious and hard, has been sotchod, and I have been able to get rid of it without diffinity.
