How to Prevent Group.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. y day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy as soon. as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and it will
dispel all symptoms of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousands of mothers and has
never been known to fail. 1t is, in
fact. the only remedy that can always
be depended upon and that is pleas
ant and safe to take. For sale by all
druggists.
