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 a 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 a 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
tbs thousands of endorsements re-
ceived from women who have used It
are a guarantee of the benefit to be
derived from its use. This remedy
does not accomplish wonders but SIM
