1t 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
occasions, and endeavor to pass
through the crisis with her health
and strength unimpaired. This she
may do through the use of Mothers
Friend, a remedy that has been SO
long in use, and accomplished so
much good, that it is in no sense an
experiment, but preparation which
always produces the best results. It
is Tor exernal application and so pen
etrating in its nature as to thoroughly
lubricateI every muscle, nerve and ten
don involved during the period before
baby comes. 1t aids nature by ex-
banding the skin and tissues, relieves
tenderness and soreness, and perfectly
prepares the system for natural and
safe motherhood. Mothers Friend
has been used and endorsed by thou
sands of mothers, and It's use will
prove comfort and a benefit to any
woman in need of such remedy.
