Written for the TRIBUNE.


Group is an infiammatory con-
dition of the mucous membrane
of the larynx usually seen in
children.
There are three variations, viz:
Mucous, Spasmodic and Mem
braneous. MUCOUS GROUP: This
is the most common variety. In
my experience it consists of u
mild Inflammation of the mucous
membrane of the larynx, cold be-
ing its usual casual cause. The
attack usually comes during the
the night, the child being sud-
denly aroused from sound sleep
with difficult breathing and a
characteristic cough. The child
may have been suffering with cold
for day or two, but little at
tention is given to it. The dit
fcult breathing which at first
comes on in paroxyisms soon be-
comes continuous and there is
wheeling and hoarseness with a
peculiar cough. AS the disease ad-
vances the voice becomes weak
and if relief is not obtained finally
sinks to a whisper. When
The child is incline1 to sleep,
mucous accumulates in the throat
and causes the breathing to be
more difficult and produces symp-
toms Of strangulation. AT the
commencement of the attack,
there is usually more or less fever,
the skin hot aud dry and the pulse
full and strong. But if the
disease continues the extremities
become cold, the body covered with
a cold clammy sweat, and the pulse
weak, frequent. The symptoms
produced by the accumulation Of
mucus and the peculiar cough
when once heard is sufficient to
distinguish this from the Other
forms of cough
Treatment From one to ter
or fifteen drops of the Tr. Lohelia
should be given every ten oi
fifteen minutes until relief is OBJ
taiued or vomiting produced, and
ot the same time the feet and legs
should he bathed in water as ho'
as can be borne; or the child PLACED
in tub of warm water and cloths
wrung out of the same applied t'

10 XIII IT, His right hand slipped,
and no sooner had it passed the
head than it was grabbed firmly
IN the jaws and the struggle be-
gan. The teeth sank through the
bed clothes and into his flesh
Down into the corner they went,
McMahon doing the best he could
IN the dark to hold the bed clothes
IN such a way that he could over
power his foe, and the animal
struggling for its life and doing its
best to bite his hand off.
In the struggle McMahon got
near the door and when the laws
parted for new hold he ierked
his hand out and opening the door,
stepped out and quickly closed it
again. Then he aroused the other
men, who explained that they had
worked hard the day previous and
were very tired as the reason they
did not hear him call. They
lighted a lamp and poeped in
through the door, but could see
nothing unusual except the bed
clothes on the floor and stream
of blood which had come from
McMahon's hand leading to their
room. On closer scrutiny they
saw large coyote hiding be-
tween the pillows, lying fiat on
its stomach with its head between
its paws.
This was the first time that
McMahon knew what kind of an
animal he had been fighting.
A number of coyotes had been
reported as suffering with hydro
phobia in that location, so Nc
Mahon decided it was wise to keep
the animal to SEQ if it was afflicted
with rabies. The men wanted to
shoot it, but McMahon told them
to drive it into vacant room and
keep it until it could be learned
whether it was mad, and in the
meantime he could have his injur-
les attended.
The men started around on the
outside of the house to the win
dow where the coyote had entered,
while McMahon went to the kitch-
en- to bathe his mangled hand,
but before they got to the window
the beast jumped out again, and
running around the house, placed
his fore feet on the window sill
where Mcmahon was and was
about to spring in when he fright
ened it away by flashing the lamp
at it. McMahon bathed his hand
all day, and Monday night started
for Denver, arriving Tuesday
morning. He went to the police
surgeons office, where he had the
wounds cauterized aud told his
story.
81 never had such an experience
in all my life,' said Mcmahon.
''When | felt that shaggy head,
made up my mind right there
that whatever was in the room
would have it out with me, and II
did; but | got the worst of 1t. i
have seen many wolves and coy
otes In my day, but | never bad
any such experience before, mol
dc want it repeated"
The teeth cut two deep hole:
in the tiesby part and tore about
two inches of skin off the back Of
his hand. DR.. Dulin says he
thinks no bad effects will come
from the injuries.
