Every woman's heart responds to
the charm and sweetness of a baby's
voice, because nature intended her for
motherhood. But even the loving
nature of mother shrinks from the
ordeal because such time is usually
a period of suffering and danger.
Women who use Mothers Friend are
saved much discomfort and suffering,
and their systems, being thoroughly
prepared by this great remedy, are
in healthy condition to meet the
time with the least possible suffering
and danger. Mothers Friend is
recommended only for the relief and
comfort Of expectant mothers; it is in
no sense a remedy for various ills,
but its many years of success, and
the thousands of endorsements re-
ceived from women who have used 1t
are a guarantee of the benefit to be
derived from its use. This remedy
does not accomplish wonders but SIM
ply assists nature to perfect its work

NO ONE BLAMED FOR DISASTER
Inquest on One of SO Victims of Col
lansing Pier Near Niagara Falls.

Buffalo, June 28.-After an inquest into
one Of the thirty-nine deaths which oc-
CURED last Sunday night. when pier at
Eagle Park, Grand Island, collapsed and
dropped two hundred pleasure seekers into
the Niagara River Guy B. Moore. Assist
ant District Attorney, said to-day that
probably nobody could be held criminally
liable for the catastrophe.
"It was established" said Mr.. Moore
that the pier went down because II had
rotted and because there were too many
people OH It. The law does not Impose upon
any one the duty OF inspecting or OF keep
ing in repair these piers; consequently
there could be no charge of manslaughter
because manslaughter is based upon wilfr'
neglect, and there can be no wllful neglect
where nobody is charged with duty. II
was developed that national or state legis-
IatIon Is needed for the examination of
piers and their maintenance"
