SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CROUP.—The American
Journal of Health gives the following simple remedy for
this dreadful and dangerous disease :—" If a child is
taken with croup, instantly apply cold water—ice water
if possible--suddenly and freely to the neck and chest,
with a sponge. The breathing will almost instantly be
relieved. So soon as possible let the sufferer drink as
much as it can ; then wipe it dry, cover it up warm, and
soon a quiet slumber will relieve the parent's anxiety, and
lead the heart in thankfulness to the Power which has
given to the pure gushing fountain such medical qualities."
