Croup is a terror to young mothers and to post them concerning the cause, first symp- toms and treatment is the object of this item. The origin of croup is a coir-mon cold, Children who are subject to it take cold very easily snd croup is almost sure to follow. The first symptom is hoarseness ; this is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough, which is easily recognised and will never be forgottoo by one who haß heard it. TUe time to act is uhen the child fu-st be* cornea hoarse. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is fieely given all tendency to cronp will soon disappear.
