THE CHARM
or MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfec. Physi-
cal Health,

The experience Of Motherhooiis t-y.
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 tres tment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence With an organism untitled FOR thc
trial Of strength, and when it is oycl
her system has received shocl, from
which IL is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and q distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health OF
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence Of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which TO prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the tgi-l.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetables
Compound, a most valuable tonic ari
invigorator of the female organism.
