good Housekeeping. , \ - -An old nurse who was considered wise in her day told me that an unfailing relief for croup was to place the child’s feet in hot water, apply hot flannels to the chest give ths following mixture until vomiting was produced: One tablespoonful of powdered alum dissolved in half a teacupfui of hot water and sweetened well with molasses."
