ven if you use it frequently.

_Recipe:_ One-half pound of lard, quarter of a pound of raisins,
quarter pound of fine cut chewing tobacco. In the morning place the
tobacco in a tin can and cover it with water; set it on the stove and
let it cook and boil all day, replacing the water when it is
necessary; then squeeze all the juice from the tobacco. The next
morning chop your raisins, put them in the tobacco water and cook well
till noon; then again squeeze the raisins out of this water. Now to
this water add the lard and let them simmer together until the water
is evaporated. Now the croup remedy is ready for use. On putting the
child to bed, if you fear an attack, take a piece of brown paper large
enough to cover the throat and chest and spread it over with the
ointment and put it across the throat and lungs. Place over that and
tie several thicknesses of flannel; put the child to bed, cover up
warmly, and you need have no fear of croup that night.

If taken with croup unexpectedly, on hearing the cough, spread a piece
of brown paper with the ointment and lay it across the throat and
chest; then heat flannel as hot as can be borne and lay over the
paper; change in about ten minutes for another hot cloth. If no fire
is on while waiting for it, heat cloths on a lamp chimney. As soon as
you get the stomach covered and warm, give a teaspoonful of melted
butter; repeat the dose in five minutes.
