in every part of the land there
are women who tell how, through
the application of Mothers Friend.
they entirely avoided the suffering
usually incident to motherhood
They relate in no uncertain terms
how from its use the days were
made bright and cheerful and the
nights calm and restful how the
crisis was passed without the usual
suffering experienced when nature
Is unaided, and how they preserved
lheir health and strength to devote
I to the rearing of their children
md to the things life holds for
hem.
Mothers Friend is a most pene-
trating remedy, prepared especially
for. expectant mothers from a for
mula of a noted physician. Strain
upon the ligaments is avoided. and
instead of a period of discomfort
and constant dread it is a season of
calm repose. The hours at the
crisis are less, and Mothers Friend
enables the mother to retain her
natural grace, and her skin is not
cracked and does not become hard
sr disfigured.
