THE DANGER to which the Expectant Mother is exposed and the foreboding and dread with which she looks forward to the hour of woman s severest trial is appreciated by but few. All effort should be made to smooth these rugged places in life’s pathway for her, ere she presses to her bosom her babe. MOTHER'S FRIEND allays Nervousness, and so assists Nature that the change goes forward in an easy manner, without such violent protest in the way of Nausea, Headache, Etc. Gloomy forebodings yield to cheerful and hopeful anticipations—she passes through the ordeal quickly and without pain—is left strong and vigorous and enabled to joyously perform the high and holy duties now devolved upon her. Safety to life of both is assured by the use of •• Mother’s Friend,” and , the time of recovery shortened. | “I know one lady, the mother of three children, who suffered greatly in the birth of each, who obtained a bottle of ‘Mother’s Friend’ of me before her fourth confinement, and was relieved quickly and easily. All agree that their labor ’was shorter and less painful." John G. Polhill, Macon, Ga.
