THE FIRST BABY.
It's Coming is Looked Forward Go With Both Joy and Fear and it's Safe Arrival is Hailed With
 Pride and Delight by AL

The arrival of the first baby in the household Is the happiest and most im- portant event of married life. The young wife who Is to become a mother delights to think of the happiness in store for her when the little one shall nestle upon her breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp the sweet and holy name, "mother. :" But her happy anticipation quickly van- ishes when she realizes the terrible pain and suffering through which she must pass while bringing the little one into the world. An indescribablef fear of the danger attendant upon the ordeal soon dissipates her joyfulness.
 Thousands of women have learned by experience that there is absolutely no necessity for the sufferings which at- tend childbirth; they know that by the use of Mothers Friend"--a scien- tifie liniment-for few weeks before the trying hour, expectant mothers can so prepare themselves for the final hour that the pain and suffering of the dreaded event are entirely obviated and 1t is safely passed through with com paratively little discomfort.
 All women are interested, and es- pecially expectant mothers who for the first time have to undergo this trial, 1T such remedy for they know the pair and suffering, to say nothing of the dan ger, which is in store for them. Moth CTS Friend" is woman's greatest bles. sing, for it takes her safely through the severest ordeal of her life. Every woman should be glad to read the little book "Before Baby is Born," which contain; information of great value to all. i | L,Vill be sent free to any one who send'

When I came down to work this morning 1 felt so weak l could hardly work. 1 went to Miller < Me Curdy's drug store and they rec commended Chamberlain's Collc, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy. It worked like magic and one dose fixed me all right. It certainly is the finest thing 1 ever used for stomach trouble. 1 shall not be without it in my home hereafter, for 1 should not care to endure the sufferings of last night again fol fifty times it's price.--G.
