Well. there are several reasons: - First: It is perfectly harmless and can be given with every condence to the youngest or most delicate child. Secondly: It contains no alcohol, opium, chloroform. mor- phine or any other narco ;c. .. Thirdly: Children like it`, and no persuasion is needed to get thern to take it. For T above reasons alone it is irripossible to get a better medicine for babies than But aside from its safety it relieves coughs and colds, is the best remedy known for croup, and when given as soon as the croupy cough appears it will even prevent the attack."
