the fever increases the cough returns IN
more frequent paroxysms, and the dif-
ficulty of breathing increases; often Dy
turns, becomes wheeling, rafting, ana

through fine brazen pipes; and becomes
by degrees, loud, harsh, and is heard al

becomes easier, softer, the rafting OF

and the child is bathed in sweat by the
suffering and effort.

soon yield to proper remedies. Hall
teaspoonful OF pulverized alum and

always at hand. But the worst cases
are those which come insidiously, the
child being scarcely i'll for two or three
days, little or no cough, or a mild. mui-
fed, cough, but very hoarse or whisper
ing speech or entire loss of voice, the
difficult breathing coming on gradually,
