Cronp Remedy.
Parents would do well to cut out
this remedy for croup, and preserve
it for future use, in case any of the
family should be so afflicted :
“Take a soft flannel cloth, a quarter
of yard long and a finger wide;
spread a thin coating of lard over
it, and sprinkle yellow snuff over
the entire surface. Lay it over the
the chest, the lard and snuff next
to the skin. Spread another flannel
over it. Grown up people, mr well
as little ones, will find it an excel
cellent remedy for tightness or con¬
gestion of the lungs.”
