who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand 10 every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by whoop from one of the

Remedy is better, and does not cost so
much. 1t causes the patient to "throw

as soon as the croupy cough appears and
it will prevent the attack. 1t never fails
and is pleasant and safe to take.-From
