the CHARM
or motherhood
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience Of Mothcrhooiis a 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 shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother Of children.
and indeed child birth 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 uNprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
viii 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.
