HOw to Prevent Croup
It will be good news to mothers
of small children to learn that oroup
can be prevented. The flr6t sign of
oroup is hoarseness. A diy or two
before the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is Boon followed by a
peculiar rough oongb. Give Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy freely as
soon as the child beoomes hoarse, or
even after the rough cough appears,
and it will dispel all symptoms of
croup. In this way all danger and
anxiety may be avoided. This rem
edy is nsed by many thousands of
mothers and has never been known
to fail. It is, in faot, the only rem
edy that can always be depended
npon and that is pleasant and safe
to take For sale by llalch A Son,
