TREATMENT OF CROUP.
VHAT TO DO FOR THE DISEASE IN
THE ABSENCE OF A DOCTOR.
Dangerous Croup un lil h-gulxlieil from
I'alur Croup Tim ter 2u lit-Treated
Without Bledlcal Aid. but Physiciao's
Advice Is Alway Safe.
The particularly dangerous character
istic of croup ia. like pneumonia, ita Bud-
dennesH. Its action is so rapid, and the
little patient is so noon in a condition
that la very near to death, that parents
lose their heads," and from extreme
fear and anxiety are unable to coolly go
to work with their best ind'ment.
There are two sorts of croup one id
which the hoarseness and choking are
caused by a sort of spasm or contraction
of the glottis, and known to physicians
as pseudo-croup or false croup, and in
this there is little or no formation of
membrane. With false croup there is
much tightness, the same harsh, brassy
cough, the breathing is wheezy, difficult
and rapid. The attacks come on with
catarrh and hoarseness, and are apt to
recur several nights, sometimes coming
on in the daytime.
There are many causes for an attack
of false croup. Sometimes it originates
from the stomach. An exceptionally
hearty supper or some indigestible fooil
eaten during the evening may set up aw
irritation which will bring on the symp
toms of false croup, but of course th
usual cause is exposure and wet feet. It
is really a mild disease, and quickly sub
sides under proper treatment, and is not
apt to be followed by dangerous compli
cations.
For immediate relief wet a towel in
cold water and wring it out just dry
enough to prevent its dripping, and fold
it about the child's neck, then cover this
with dry towels or flannel cloths to pre
vent the pillow, etc., from being wet.
In many cases this wet packing of the
throat is all that is necessary.- Leave it
on until the breathing is easy and natu
ral, and be sure to rub the child dry and
warm after taking off the pack. It is
well to put a light woolen bandage about
the throat for the remainder of the
night, but never accustom a child to be
ing "bundled up." If the cold pack does
uot prove sufficient to give relief at once,
give repeated doses of sirup of ipecac,
larger or smaller according to the vio
lence of the spasm, until vomiting en
sues.
An excellent cough medicine to keep
in the house, and oue which works well
in cases of false croup, is the old fash
ioned mixture of sirup of squills and
paregoric, or a mixture of glycerine and
water in etiual parts If with this treat
ment the child does not get easy, and fall
into a natural sleep, but, on the contra
ry, the choking sensation continues or
becomes worse, you may conclude that
you have a case on hand of true croup,
and the sooner you get a doctor the bet
ter GUARDING AGAINST CROCP.
False croup you may relieve tonight,
and tomorrow morning there may be no
trace of it; tomorrow night and the next
night and for several nights it may come
on again as badly as ever. It is not so,
however, with true croup there is no
let up" in this case; the condition grad
ually gets more and more severe until
death ensues from suifocation, or until
the disease submits to treatment. The
average duration of a case of real croup
is about seven or eight days, and many
methods and remedies are advised.
Both false and true croup may be
guarded against in great measure. It is
a mistake to accustom children to such
bundling and wrapping up when they go
out that active exercise is not easily
taken, and of course 1 would not have
you go to tne otuer extreme auu not
clothe them warmly enough; but if they
are strong and lively, the latter course is
really the safest, provided they can come
indoors to rest and get warm. Look to
it that their feet are attended to when
they come in from playing in the wet.
A good rubbing, or better still, bathing
in alcohol and water, and then rubbing.
and dry, warm stockings, will often pre
vent a case of croup or some other lorm
of cold.
If they are weak, or not really active
and strong, a course of sirup iodide of
iron will usually bring them up. See to
it that they are regular and rather lax in
their bowel movements, for nearly every
preparation of iron has a tendency to
promote constipation.
WHAT TO DO FOIt CROCP.
Death is almost always caused by suf
focation, on account of the closing up of
the glottis by the membrane, which
forms so rapidly that constant atten
tion with the probang or spray is neces
sary to impede its growth. Whichever
method of applying is nsed, any applica
tion that is irritating is dangerous and
should be avoided, as, for instance, ni
trate of silver and several of the mineral
acids.
Probably the best solvent is freshly
made lime water, and it may readily be
applied in form of vapor without any ap
paratus. Small pieces of fresh, unslaked
lime may be put into a wide mouthed
bottle a pint glass fruit jar will answer1
and water poured upon it to slake it, and
the patient inay thn breathe the fresh
vapor as it arises. j u cases of true croup
this is probacy theiaest course to pursue
until the doctor comes. Tincture of
iron (full strength) may be applied to the
membrane with a camel's hair pencil or
a probang. The latter instrument is
simply a bit of fine soft sponge, fastened
securely with silk thread to the end of a
piece of whalebone or reed about as long
as a lead pencil, and is simply a swab.
With this swab diluted lactic acid may
be applied to the membrane, nd next to
lime water it is probably the best and
safest solvent that can be used. To pre
pare it for use simply add the acid to
water until it has a decidedly sour taste.
During an attack of croup it is necessary
that we should do everything to keep
the patient nourished, as the tremendous
exertion of breathing, together with the
apprehension, of fatatTesult, are most ex
hausting. A Doctor in New York World,
Trials tT rn Author.
There came to man who has had a
Buccess in literature whiiih we should
envy did we not uil nree lit deserves it,
a lady who was neither yoni!g nor fair,
but who had the assurance of youth in
combination wiih the obstinacy of ad
vancing years.
"I have decided," f!io said to him,
'that 1 inuft earn my living by writing
poems. 1 st-nt a poem to the Blank
Magazine, aud they returned it with a
printed slip. Now, I want you to write
to the editor, ami tell him thaf he made
a mistake."
It naturally seemed to the author that
he had to deal with a humorist or a mad
woman; but the lady was certainly in
earnest and apparently sane. He en
deavored to show her that it ws uot his
business to interfere with the decisions
of the editors of magazines, who might
be supposed to know their own business.
The lady insisted, however, and in the
end ho was forced to decline point blank
to do what she asked. Thereupon she
turned upon him and declared that he
was one of those who endeavor to keep I
others out m order that tney may nave
the field to themselves, and who are
meanly jealous of other authors who are
sure to eclipse them if they are but
heard.
"It is all a ring." she declared with
vehemence. "1 have been told uo be
fore, and now 1 am sure of it. I can't
inaKe you do justice to me, but I can
show you up."
Her method of "showing him up" has
been to send letters of bitter invective to
the papers, one of which fell into my
hands. Of course nobody would print
them, but she perseveres, and in addition
to this she sends to the luckless author,
whose crime is that he did not make the
editor of the Blank Magazine print the
rhymes of an unknown woman, a letter
once a week. Of course he burns them
unopened, and it is not easy to see what
satisfaction it can be to the woman to
keep on with this sort of thing, but the
fact remains that she does. The story is
not of profound importance, but it throws
a curious bit of a side light upon the life
of the successful author of today. Arlo
Bates in Book Buyer.
Wanting and Getting.
It has been said that the reason so few
people get what they want in this world
is that they do not want it hard enough.
There is profound truth at the bottom of
this odd conceit. Earnest striving and
perseverance are rare qualities. A little
struggle, and then a falling off; a few
faint efforts, and then despair this is
the usual story of attempts to "get any
thing," whether it be a physical, mental
or spiritual good. But to long for a
thing so strongly that for the sake of its
attainment one can conquer obstacles,
live down opposition, ignore discourage
ment and work persistently and through
years of trial aud obscurity toward the
f ulhllment of a hope is not this the rec
ord of all grand achievements and the
history of all purposeful lives?
Many more wishes might be realized
if people were willing to pay this price
for them. Anything worth having in
this world is dear, including experience.
Genius itself has been denned as only
unlimited patience, or an endless capac
ity for hard work.
It was told of some celebrated general
that he never knew when he was defeat
ed. By and by he could not be defeated.
A little of the same spirit infused into
ordinary life work would make many a
dream possible that now seems to the
wistful dreamer as extravagant as the
cloudiest castle in Spain. Harper's Ba
zar. The Improvised Pianist.
A few weeks ago a dancing party
was given at one of the largest clubs in
Vienna. The regular pianist did not
turn up. A message came to say that
he was ilL What was to be done? A
porter ran out, hailed a cab and said to
the driver:
"Drive me faith. 1 don't know
where."
"Why, what is it you want?"
"I want a piano player. Do you hap
pen to know of one in the neighbor
hood?" "I should think I did; in fact, close at
hand. You needn't trouble to get into
the cab."
"Where is her
"Right in front of you. I play the
piano myself fairly well, and shall be
glad to accommodate you."
Cabby got down from bis box, took his
seat at the instrument and kept the
visitors dancing till break of day. What
is more, he declined to accept any pay
ment: he said he had come a3 an ama
teur and for the love of the thing. He
considered himself highly honored to
have been allowed to spend a night with
"such grand company." Vhere but in
Vienna could you hope tb find such a
sample of musical training, civility and
disinterestedness amor.g the cabbies?
Le Monde Artiste,
t 'Shook the Deacon.
In. the course of his sermon Rev. Mc
Leod told the congregation that if any
among them wj asleep they had better
wake up or they would miss hearing a
good story. Much to the amusement of
the congregation one old man left his
seat, advanced a few steps up the
aisle, grasped another old man by
the shoulder, and, after giving him
a sound shake, whispered in his ear
sufficiently loud enough to be heard
in all parts cf the church: "Brother B.l
