How to Prevent Group.

It will be good news to the mothers of small children to learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign of croup is hoarseness. A day or two before the attack the child becomes boarse. This is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough. Give Cham berlaln's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the rough cough appears, and it will dispel all symptoms of croup. In this way all danger and anxiety may be avoided. This remedy is used by many thousands of moth CTS and has never been known to fail. 1 is, in fact. the only rene. dy that can always be depended upon aud that is pleasant and safe to take.
