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

The arrival of the first baby in the
household is the hapbiest and most i'm
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 indescribable 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-
tific linin,ent-for q 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 Gre entirely obviated and
it 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, in
such remedy for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing of the dam
ger, which is in store for them. moth
er's 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
