EXPERIENCE
OF MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is q try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial Of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an u%nprepared condition, and with
pie time in which to prepare, ome
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.

They were Funeral March" and the

was especially good. The boys wore
college suits and sang their college
songs, "Rosalie,' Adam" Seeing
Nellie Home" Garry Me Back to Old
Virginia" "Old Aunt Jemima," and
by the Beautiful Blue Danube" The
last number on the program caused
much merriment when half of the club

THE SHIPS.

My treasure-ships from sea,
With languid sail and slipping keel,
And helm as true as truest steel,
And Fortunes hand on the steer

Guiding them home to me.
One by one my ships came home,
Like tired gulls from sea,
And they're anchored safe from

But I'm watching still, with eyes
that fail,
For the one little boat with the sill
yer sail
That never came home to me!
