been used in tens of thousands of cases
without a single failure so far as we
baye been able to learn. It not only
cures croup, but when given as soon as
tbe croupy cough appears, will prevent
the attack. Ia cases of whooping
cough it liquefies the tough mucus,
making it easier to expectorate, and
lessens the severity and frequency of
the paroxysms of coughing, thus de
priving that disease of all dangerous
consequences. For stle by all drug
