A"SURE CURE FOR CROUP.
Tweaty-Qve Years' Constrnt tlse With
*; , out a Failure-
The first indication of croup is
hoarseness, and in a child, subject 'to
that disease it may be taken as a
sure sign of. the approach of an at-
tack. Following this hoarseness is a
peculiar rough cough. If Chamber-
lain's Cough Remedy is given as
soon as tbe child becomes hoarse, or
even-after the croupy cough appears,
it willpreventtbe attack. .It is used
in many thousands of homes in this
Jtoosd land and never disappoints the
anxious .mothers. We have yet to
learn of a single instance in which it
has not proved effectual. No other
preparation can show duch a record—
twenty-five years' constant use with-
out a'failure. For sale by H. B.

would not her Majesty's Gotern-
eyen r gf their foe. They have
demonstrated their ability to defy
a well equipped and officered
army a hundred thousand strong,
and it is a question whether En-
gland can conquer them with dou-
ble that force.
They are fighting, as the Amer-
ican patriots of the Revolution
tought, for liberty and indepen-
dence. They are animated by the
same patriotism, the same love of
freedom, the same determination
to defend theii rights Does En-
gland to-day regret the statesman-
ship and justice that wisely re-
cognized American - independence
and gave birth to the greatest of
all Republics and the best of aM
England's friends? Will not her
Majesty's Government see that it
may be an equally wise stroke
of statesman ship and not less to
tbe credit of England to recognize
the right of the§e two struggling
South African Republics to exis-
tence, to welcome the Boers to
their proper place in the Anglo-
Saxon family of nations?- In
-hort, may not her Majesty's Gov-
ernment now consider, with the
reBt^of the world, that the war has
gone far enough) * " .
In conclusion, it is-impossible
to read General Sir Redveis But-
ler's dispatch from Chievely camp
without being struck by the pos-'
sibly disastrous effect his defeat
may have upon the prestige of*
British arms not only in South
Afrioa, but all the world over.
To say that' the situation is des-
perate may. be*an exaggeration,
but it is cehainly a grave one.—
