TO PREVENT CROUP,
BEGIN in time. The first symptom is
hoarseness, this is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough, which is easily recog- nized and will never be forgotten by one who has heard it. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse. If Cham- berlain's Cough Remedy is freely given, all tendency to croup will soon disappear. Even after the croupy cough has developed, it will prevent the attack. There is no danger in given this remedy as it contains nothing injurious. It always cures and cures quickly. For sale by All Dealers; WATKINS Ltd., General Agents.
