 SO CHILDREN STILL HAVE THE GROUP?
 My attempt Co drop spaanodlc or catarrhal" croup-just because I seldom receive request For illfor. nation about it, and formerly q good many such requests came tn the mail the year around--failed. It seems I was moving too fast. No less than five readers assured me thier children have croup oE have had it within the past year or two.
 A reader writes:
 "I have had i30 boys in the past i7 years, and each year there have been several sessions with croup. can find no req. son for lt. no ailergy, no cold. no exposure. I have found one thing seems to ease the attack -I turn the boy of the side Of the bed SO head and arms hang down. This sounds silly. but is seems to work"
 A young mother writes from Southern California -an eQuable climate-that her youngest son had croup often for two years. child across the street has tt. and the little boy and girl next door have it. It wouldn't astonish me more ie I were to develop rabies, gout, nervous exhaustion or too much acid in my blood one og these days. But after all. eroup is a complication of the cTi. some acute respiratory infection. and in the ideal equahle climate, 1t seems, kids are coddled, yes, kids and older folk too. quite as much against sunshine. skyshlne and all as they are in the worst climate. But I'll hold my horses and let this Southern California mother explain about eroup. which ! had hoped might be in process os extinction:
 My husband finally fixed a therfnostat on an electric heater that kept the temperature from making too sudden a drop in the childreg's room at night. We haven't had er0up since. Of course he may have outgrown it anyway
 Group is otherwise called spas. nl0dlc cr0up, spasm0dte laTyngitis or catarrhal croup.
 Tetany and sIlasnaophslia and eEl- iarged tonsils and adeH0ids are all frequent states ln children who are subject to cf0up, and for prevention and correction of any and ail Of these factors l advise giving every growing child an adequate daily ra- ton Of calcium and yitamln D. whether the child ever hes an at. tack of eroup or not.
 Since 1t is too early to drop the pamphlet on Group heYe nov ge- Vlsed tt end on request, tf you pFo- vide a stamped envelope bearing your address, I'll send you q copy.
