the CHARM
OF MOT HERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks diS-
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in 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 childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. TIE 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 trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.

BETTER THAN SPANKING

Spanking does not cure children of bed
wetting. There is a constitutional cause
fer this trouble. Mrs. NJ. Summers, Box
W, Notre Dame, Ind, will send free to
any mother her successful home treat
rnent, with full instructions. Send nc
money, but write her today if your chill
dren trouble you in this way. Don't
blame the child the chances are it can
help it. This treatment also cures adults
and aged people troubled with urine difh-
culties by day or night.
