FACTS ABOUT
THE GROUP
THE FIRST SYMPTOMS AND
TREATMENT.
Some Interesting Information for
Young Mothers How to
Guard Against the
Disease.

The great danger from Group is fully re.
allied by most mothers of young children.
There are many, however, who do not know
that an attack of Group may be prevented by
proper treatment as soon as the first symp-
toms appear. The first indication of an
attack Of Group is hoarseness. The child
becomes quite hoarse; this is followed by
rough cough that has something of a metal
lie sound and has been compared to the
growing Of cock. Give Chamborlain's
Cough Remedy according to the printed
directions with each bottle as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, and it will proven.
the attack. It is, in fact, a certain cure for
Group, and has never been known to fail, but
it is better and safer to give the remedy be-
fore the attack Of Group is fully developed.
It then saves suffering for the child and anx-
iety for its parents. There is no danger in
giving this remedy freely, az it contains no
opium or other narcotic. It Is the standby
and sole reliance in many thousands of
homes and never disappoints those who de-
pend upon it. There are women who took
this remedy in childhood, now giving il to
their grandchildren, and with the same uni
form success. 1t always cures and IL pleas

H. A. Evans, an attorney Of Sioux

sued a few years ago when Mrs. Leo

500, 900 damages, claiming breach Of
promise of marriage and seduction.

suspected Of being the individual
wanted at Muscatine for the double
murder there year ago last summer,
of Van Wrinkle and his wife.
spent several weeks in this city and
vicinity, both outside and inside the
county Jail. While here, he went by
the name of Burke, and was recognized
as bad character. He worked for
several farmers near this city, among
them the keefe brothers. and for some
of the farmers northeast of town, in
Matt township.
He was liberal in his consumption of
liquor. and claimed that when under
Its influence he did not know what he
was doing-an assertion that had con-
siderable truth in it, judging from
some of his strange actions. 1t is stat
ed of him that on one occasion he took
a fancy to dog owned by a man who
was conducting roller skating ring
here at the time, and enticed the ami
NAL away, and on the same night took
horse from another place, and was
riding it about town. when he was ar
rested and lodged in Jail.

disappeared from here that the MUIR
der at Muscatine occurred.

close any of his relatives here. He
