RELIEVING COUGH.

A SUDDEN and wearing attack of coughing often needs immediate attention, especially in consumption, and those chronically ill. In an emergency, that ever-useful remedy, hot water, will prove very effective. It is much better than the ordinary cough mixtures, which disorder the digestion and spoil the appetite. Water, almost boiling, should be sipped when the paroxysms come on. A cough resulting from irritation is relieved by hot water through the promotion of secretion, which moistens the irritated surfaces.

Hot water also promotes expectoration, and so relieves the dry cough.—Health Magazine.
