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 be- fore the attack the child becomes
 hOarse. This is soon followed by pe- culiar rough cough. Give Chamber
 lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarSe, or even af- ter 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 mothers and has never been known to fail. It is, in fact, the only remedy that can always be depended upon and that is pleasant and safe to take.
