DO you ever have any cranks bother
you about impossible bills?" he was
asked.
He nodded aff1rmatively.
Yes, do. There was poor, pitiful
little old woman who had a bill on
which she had worked and waited and
half starved. until in desperation she
took to drugs to keep going. Her actions
here became erratic that most of the
members tried to dodge her, and the
pages thought her a nuisance. Others of
US saw the tragedy Of it all. and really
tried to help her. It was useless. though.
They are the cases which make con-
gressmans days unhappy-having to come
out and deliver bad news to women who

It is the duty of every expectant
mother to prepare her system for the
coming of her little one; to avoid as
far as possible the suffering of such

through the crisis with her health

may do through the use Of Mothers
Friend, a remedy that has been so
long in use, and accomplished 50
much good, that it is in no sense an
experiment, but a preparation which
always produces the best results, 1t
is for eyernal application and so pen
Grating in its nature as to thoroughly
lubricate every muscle, nerve and ten

safe motherhood. Mothers Friend
has been used and endorsed by thou
sands of mothers, and its use will
prove a comfort and a benefit to any
