As I stepped into the car, my best

anxious to show him how well I could
drive, I hurriedly threw Into gear. I
raced the engine and let the clutch

CROUP
The quick gasping cough of croup
is something that every mother dreads.
It comes in the dead of night when
medical assistance is hard to obtain.
That is why Glessco has been a house
hold article in millions of homes for
forty years. It gives immediate re
lief. In fact Glessco is the only prep
aration which can give relief from
croup in fifteen minutes without vom
iting.
Careful mothers everywhere depend
on Glessco. It does not upset the deli
cate child's stomach, and carries the
offending substances right out of the
system.
All druggists sell Glessco in 56c bot
tles. It is worth ten times as much
in time of need.
