to prepare her system for the phys
ical ordeal she is to undergo. The
health of both she and her coming

waiting months. Mothers Friend

makes her comfortable during all the
term. 1t works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all it's
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,

Part of the book deals with Strategy
the very climax of salesmanship-in-
print.
This is the science of doing, by clever
maneuvers, what used to be done by
sheer force of attack.
National distribution is attained in a
month. New products are made inn
mediately profitable. Advertising is re-
lieved of nearly all its uncertainties.
How this is done is shown by what
has been done-by cited examples-in
this new book.
The book also tells how we get infor-
nation.
Old-time advertisers merely guessed
at what would lead people to buy.
They learned trade conditions through
costly mistakes.
Now the wise reconnoiter. They
make an actual canvass of dealers and
users instead of depending on theory,
xuesswork and chance.
Then they start their campaigns with
sl1irmish linS-sn experiment, per-
haps.
