If' Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even alter the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is used in many 1 thousands of homes in this broad land ' and never disappoints the anxious moth ers. We have yet to learn of a single irw staucein which it has not proved er; tual.
