Croup Relieved
WithoutDosing
Too much dosing is harmful to a
child's ilellcate stomach. Often it
lays thd foundation 'for ill health in
later life.
The next time a child seems croupy
in the evening apply Vicks over
throat and chest and cover with a
warm flannel cloth. Leave the bed
clothing loose about the neck so that
the arising vapors may be freely in
haled. This usually prevents a night
attack.
If croup comes on without warn
ing a,n application of Vicks usually
brings relief in 15 minutes.
Vicks can be applied freely and
often, even on the youngest child
with perfect safety.
