The first indication of croup Is hoarse

the approach of an attack. Following
this hoarseness is a peculiar rough
cough. If Chamberlain' Congh Rem

hoarse, or even after the croupy cough
appears) It will prevent the attack. It
is used in many thousands of borne in

has not proved effectual. No other
