most sure to follow. The first symptom
is hoarseness; this is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough, which is easily
recognized and will never be forgotten
by one who has heard it. The. time to
act is when the child first becomes
hoarse. If Chamberlain's Cough Reme-

croupy cough has developed it will pre-
vent the attack. There is no danger in
giving this remedy for it contains moth

visions of Joy. There is a tender spot in
every heart for the old home, and the
memories which cluster about the dear
old spot are solaces in the weary, weary
struggle We make day by day to build in
our new Eldorado home to which our
children in future time will turn, as we
turn now to the old place where our loved
ones in the evening of life await the final
summons.
