HEALTHY
MOTHERS

Women who bear children and re-
main healthy are those who prepare
their systems in advance Of baby's
coming. Unless the mother aids
nature in its prenatal work the crisis
hnds her system unequal to the dc
mands made upon it, and she is often
left with weakened health or chronic
ailments. No remedy is so truly a
help to nature as Mothers Friend,

10 use 1t. Il relieves the pain and
discomfort caused by the strain on
the ligaments, makes plant and elas-

nature is expanding, prevents numb

Friend dispels the fear that the crisis

Increasing frequency of deaths By
poison compels the conclusion that 1t
would be better for the community II
deadly drugs less easily OBJ
tanned. Nearly every days news car
ries its story of murder or suicide by
poison. In many cases the crimes are
made possible by the sale of drugs
that under no circumstances should
be sold Unfortunately. Evidence in
these cases almost invariably shows
that the criminals purchased the
death potion with the same ease and
lack OF restriction that would attend
the sale Of bar Of soap. says the
Chicago Journal More rigid regula-
ton of the sale Of deadly poisons
might not put stop to these crimes.
but 1t certainly would make them
more difIlcult- At the least legis-
latures would do well to prohibit the
sale Of sudden death In the shape of
cyanide Of potassium. and other
similar drugs. except to physicians and
those who are known to have legitt
mate use for them.
