Before Baby is Born.

A valuable little book Of interest
to all women sent free. Every
woman looks forward with feelings
of indescribable Joy to the one
event in her life, compared with
which all others pale into insig-
niicance. How proud and happy
she will be when her precious
babe nestles on her breast-how
sweet the name Of "Mother." And
yet her happy anticipation is
clouded with dread of the pain
and danger of the ordeal, SO that
it is impossible to avoid the feel
ing of constant fear. The danger
and suffering attendant upon being
a mother can be entirely prevented
SO that the coming of the little
stranger need not be looked for
ward to with fears and trembling.
Every woman who reads this paper
can obtain absolutely free a valu-
able and attractive little book en-
titled Before Baby is Born" by
sending her name and address to
the Bradfeld Regulator Co., At

priceless information to all women,
