Pain Unnecessary in Childbirth.

PAIN is no longer necessary in child
birth. Its causes, being understood,
are easily overcome. Any woman
may now become a mother without
suffering any pain whatever-the
labor being made short, easy, and free
from danger. Morning sickness,
swelled limbs, and all other like evils
can be readily controlled, and all
female diseases speedily cured. Never
known to fail 10000 ladies attest its
merits. Cut this out; it may save your
life. Suffer not day longer, but
send us two 2-cent stamps. and receive
in sealed envelope full particulars,
testimonials, confidential letter, &c.
