HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.
Some Reading that Will Prove Inter
esting to Young Mothers-How to
(Iuard Against the Disease

Group is a terror to young moth
ers, and to post them concerning
the cause, first symptoms and
treatment is the object of this
item. The origin of Group is a com
mon cold, Children who are SUBJ
iect to it take cold very easily, and
Group is almost 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 Chamberlains Cough
Remedy is freely given all tendency
to Group will soon disappear Even
after the croupy cough has deyel-
oped it will prevent the attack
There is no danger in giving this
remedy, for it contains nothing in
