SANDER and SONS EUO \LPYTI EXTRACT. According to reports of a groat mvob-r of physicians of ihe hightest professional standing, there are offered Euoalpyti Ex tracts which possess no curative qualities. In protection of the world wide fame of Sanders and Sons preparation we publish a few abstracts from these reports, which bear fully out that no reliance can be placed in other products:—Dr. W. B, Rush, Oakland Fla., writes It is sometimes difficult fo obtain the genuine article {Sander and Sons). I employed different other preparations; they had no therapeutic value and no effects. In one case the effects were similar to the oil camphoi a, the objectionable action of which is well known.” Dr H. B. Drake, Portland, Oregon, gays—“ Since I became acquainted with this preparation (Sander and Sons) I use no other form of eucalyptus as I think it is by far the best.” Dr L. P. Preston’s Lynchburg, Va., writes—“ I never used any preparation other than Sander and Son’s, as I found the others to be almost useless.” Dr J. T. Connell, Kansas City. Kans., ;aya —“ Care has to be exercised not to be supplied with spurious preparations, es done by my supply druggist.” Dr H. H. Hart, New York, says—“ It goes wUhoit saying that Sander and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract is the best in the market.” Dr James Reekie, Fairview, N. M. — -l So wide is with me the range of applications of Sander and Sons Eucalypti Extract that I carry it with mo wherever 1 go.

The first symptom is hoarseness; this is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough, which is easily recognised and will never be forgotten by one who has heard it. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse. If Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is freely given, all tendency to croup will soon disappear. Even after the oroupy cough has developed, it will prevent the attack. There Lno danger in giving this remedy as it contains nothing injurious. It a’ways cures and cures quickly.
