PAINLESS CHILDBIRTH, a new book by Dr.
John Il. Dye. one of New York's most skillful
physicians, shows that pain is not necessary in
childbirth but results from causes easily I'M
de stood and overcome. 1t clearly proves that
any woman may become mother without suf-
fering any pain whatever. Italso tells how to
overcome and prevent morning sickness,
swelled limbs, and all other evils attending
pregnancy. 1t is reliable and highly endorsed
by physicians every where as the wife's true
private companion. Cut this out; it will save
you great pain, and possibly your life. Send

Almost every person has some form of scro-
fulous poison latent in his veins. When this
develops in scrofu lous sores, ulcers, or erup-
tions, or takes the form of rheumatism, or Or
ganic diseases the suffering that ensues'is ter
rible beyond description. Hence the gratitude
of those who discover. as thousands yearly do
that Ayers Sarsaparilla will thoroughly era
dictate this evil from the system.
