Croup is a terror lo young mothers and to post them concerning the cauße, first symp. toms and treatment is the object of this item. The origin of croup is a common cold. Children who ere subjeot to it take cold very easily and croup is almost sttre to follow. The first symptom is hoarseness; this is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough, which is easily reoognised and will never be forgotton by one who has heard it. The time to act is when the child first be- comes hoarse. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely given all tendency to croup will eoon disappear. Even after the croupy cough has developed it will prevent the attack. There is no danger in giving this remedy for it contains nothing injurious. For eale by Ashburton Drug Company.
