 coughs, croup or bad colds in children, in 10 or 

 15 drop doses — no family should do without it 

 one day. If you do not wish to be troubled 

 making it, buy some and always keep it in your 

 house. It is a sure and safe remedy for croup, 

 in which little larger doses should be adminis- 

 tered often until it vomits pretty freely — con- 

 tinue with the syrup until the tightness is bro- 

 ken, then use occasionally, not enough to vomit 

 so often. By keeping this remedy at hand you 

 may save some one of your family, and a large 

 amount of trouble and expense. In croup put 

 a mustard plaster on the breast and throat im- 

 mediately, as no time is to be lost. Mustard 

 plaster is made with ground mustard and wheat 

 flour equal parts; mix them together and wet 

 with warm vinegar, greasing the throat and 

 breast with turpentine or good liniment; put- 

 ting flannel around the neck is very good. —
