And their friends sweet need of praises

They are sleeping in the silence. and

Not voice that used to call them can

And the strangers footstep presses In

They are sleeping in the silence-yet not

How to Prevent Group

It will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign OF
Group is hoarseness. A 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 freely 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 be de-
pended upon and that is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by. Forsyth
