A Sure Cure for Croup-The first in
dication of Group is hoarseness, and in
a child subje t to that disease it may
be taken as a sure sign o fthe approach
of an attack. Following this horse
ness is a peculiar rough cough. If
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given
as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the croupy cough appears, it
will prevent the attack. 1t is used in
many thousands of homes in this broad
land and never disappoints the anxious
mothers. We have yet to learn of a
single instance in which it has not
proved effectual. No other prepara-
ton can show such a record-over
thirty years constant use without a
failure. For sale by all dealers. Ben

greatest enthusiasm was manifested
Without reference to its effect on the
campaign the people attribute the
enemy's disaster to divine interposi-
tion in the Russian cause.
In naval circles the japanese ca
tastropne is matter OF rejoicing,
though regrets are expressed that
brave men have lost their lives. But
this feeling of sympathy is swallowed
up in the greater thanksgiving for
the blow inflicted on the sea power OF
the enemy. It is pointed out that the
Hatsuse was one of Japan's finest bat
tleships, and that the loss of two, and
possibly four, war ships at intervals
cf few days, cannot fail to deeply
affect Japan and to influence tho
course Of the campaign.
The general staff tonight is without
direct news of tho sinking Of the
Shikishima and the Fuji, but there is.
an impression that it may be true.
The reports, at any rate, have Infused
fresh life and enthusiasm in official
circles, whera it is believed that the
tide has turned.

miralty at the Japanese vessels strik-
