A Cheap Disinfectant-A cheap pOrIa-
BILE disinfectant is permaganate of potash
q bottle full of these CRYSTALS, bought at
the store of any chemist, will last for
years. 1t can be used when wanted by
putting pinch of the potash over night in
Jug of water In the morning IL will

Group and Bronchitis-Croup comes on
suddenly, generally in the night, without
warning. Immediately give sufficient
syrup of ipecac to produce vomiting. You
must produce vomiting in some way. Put
lard and turpentine on the chest, table
spoonful of lard to half teaspoonful of
turpentine, thoroughly mixed. 4 hot
bath is also good. With my baby a syrup
made of pulverized alum and sugar seems
as effective as ANYTHING in cutting the
phlegm The child may appear quite
we'll in the day time, but when 1T comes
night will fill up again until it gradually
wears of.
Bronchitis and pneumonia are treated in
much the same way. Bronchitis comes
on with cold in the head for day or two,
with a long, loud, harsh cough. There is
some fever, but the skin is moist. The
skin is very hot and dry If the child has
| pneumonia or Inflammation of the lungs,
| and the cough Is short and feeble. The
latter is of course the most dangerous
As soon as the child is taken sick do not
wait, but put lard and turpentine on its
chest and back between the shoulders. II
he is very bad also put on poultices made
of flax seed meal and boiling water.
Spread on a cloth with another cloth
over, on which you can spread the
lard and turpentine. Make fresh
poultices every two hours. In a
case of pneumonia | would put on
the poultices Immediately, making
them plenty large enough to come down
over the lungs. III much filled up with
phlegm, give ipecac enough to produce
vomiting, also a few drops every few
hours. If the child is constipated give an
iriection of warm water, but do not give
tatar emetic, as it lie very weakening and
the child needs all its strength. Keep the
child in one room and off the tloor-in
bed if You can. Do not mop floors while
sick. Keep tea kettle on the stove FILED
with water to keep the air moist and the
room at an even temperature night and day
about IS degrees; use coal il possible. al
it is almost impossible to keep a room al
an even temperature with wood fire
OF course send for doctor Immediately
but keep those remedies in the house, anC
do not delay in using, as often the time
spent in waiting for the doctor to come
would be the means OF saving child
life, if the mother knew what to do
