CROUP THERE IS NOTHING that strikes terror to the hearts of parents more than to be awakened in the night by the ringing cough which accompanies an attack of croup. The child may retire wit nothing but a slight cold and a few hours later the fami y be aroused by the ominous symptoms. Every home where there are small children should be prepared for these su . den attacks, as prompt treatment is necessary. Do not experiment with remedies of doubtful value, but get CHAMBERLAIN’S COUGH REMEDY that has been in use for nearly forty years and never know n to fail.

Mr. Homer Krohn, of Listen, lowa, in a letter to the manufacturers of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy praises this medicine for what it has done for his children. He says: ‘‘lt has not only saved them once but many a time. Only two weeks ago my boy had the croup so bad in the night that had it not been for having a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the house he would have choked before a doctor could have gotten to the house. It is a medicine that no one should be without at any time.” It is pleasant to take and many children like it.

Attacks of croup are most likely to occur during °j iou ]d winter months, and every family with young chd r® * IN’S be prepared for it. Keep a bottle of CHAM . COUGH REMEDY in your home. It only costs *fl large size 50 cents. Your druggist sells it

No human tongue can tell how I suffered, and I had given up hope of ever getting well until I began taking Foley’s Kidney Remedy.
