Catarrhal Group.

Few people realize how frequently
Group is caused by catarrhal conges-
ton of the throat. Probably nine
cases out of ten Of Group is Of the.
catarrhal variety.
The medical profession recognizes
three forms of Group. The spas modic
variety, membranous Group and ca
tarrhal Group.
Nearly every case is Of the catarrhal
variety, and a few doses of Peruna
taken at the first appearance of the
catarrhal symptoms is generally suffl-
Gent to avert the attack of Group
altogether.

disease of children so alarms the
