Coughs arise from different cause* so before rushing off to buy some patent medicine to stop the cough* try I'to find the cause of it. A cough is reI ally an effort of Nature to bring up | and get rid of secretion that ought to be cleared from the lungs. Some cough mixtures dry this up instead of removing it, and that is not only harmful but may be very dangerous. In the case of an old person or a child anything in the form of laudanum,, paregoric, or morphia should not be given, as the effect may be disastrous. Borne coughs arise from a deranged stomach, so that any of the above drugs taken for such a cough would be quite wrong. The best cure for a cough of that kind is change of air, careful dieting, avoiding rich foods, and taking a few doses of fluid magnesia. If a congh continues to be very tiresome and no relief can be obtained by home remedies, it is possible the lungs may be effected, therefore the doctor should be seen, and the chest examined with a stethoscope. A very safe remedy for the ordinary winter cough is a dose of cod liver oil. Somecoughs arise from a little throat irritation, and are generally dry and hacking. Relief can be obtained by dissolving some sugar candy in a little lemon juice, and taking occasionally a teaspoon hi!. Those who are troubled with a tickling cough are advised to farry some glvcerine lozenges, and take one the moment thyy feel the least irritation.
