Every woman loves to think of the time when a soft little body, all her own, will nestle in her bosom, fully satisfying the yearning which lies in the heart of every good woman. But yet there is a black cloud hovering about the pretty picture in her mind which fills her with terror. The dread of childbirth takes away much of the Joy of motnerhood. And yet it need not be so. For sometime there has been upon the market, well-known and recommenced by physicians, a liniment called Mother’s Friend which makes childbirth as simple and easy as nature intended it It is a strengthening, penetrating liniment, which the skin readily absorbs, it gives the muscles elasticity and vigor, prevents sore breasts, morning s.ckness and the loss of the girlish figure. An in: a gent mother in Butler. Pa., says: ••I eed Mother's Fr again. I » ! • n l» r -.tiles if I had to pay $3 per bottle for it." Get .Mother's Friend at the drug store. $1 per bottle.
