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 curos quickly.
