I quickly made my way upstairs, and found the wee chap in great trouble. His eyes were rolling, and he looked as though he was going to have a convulsion. \ "Bob said, 'Oh, I think he has a touch of crqjip. Get some hot water and put a compress on bis chest, 'while I get the bottle of 'Baxter's.' I gave him a good dose of 'Baxter's,' slightly diluted with water, and do you know almost immediately he seemed to get better. This morning he is quite himself again. "Both my husband and I are great believers in Baxter's Lung Preserver, but I did not realise before it was such an effective remedy for croup."
