lbs Perfect Baby Of The Future A Simpt Method Th.t Has a Wonderful Influence upon The Future Infant.

Before the arrival of baby knowing women for over half a century have used with regularity the time-honored preparation, Mother's Friend. Here is a most wonderful application for the abdomen and breasts. It penetrates the muscles, ligaments and tissues, rendering them pliant to readily yield to nature's demand for expansion. By Its use the anxious weeks of pregnancy are made comfortable. The usual wrenching strain, bearing-down and stretching pains are counteracted. The system is prepared for the coming event, and its use brings rest, repose and happy anticipation. By the regular use of Mother's Friend during the period the muscles expand easier when baby arrives, and taturally the pain and danger at the crisi3 is less. Mother's Friend is prepared after the formula of a noted family doctor by the Bradfield Regulator Co., A205 Lamar Bldg., Atlanta, Oa. It is for external use only; is absolutely and entirely safe and wonderfully effective. Write them for their instructive and interesting "Motherhood Book." There is a wealth of instruction and comfort to be-derived in reading this little book. It is plainly written Just what every woman wants to know and will be a splendid little text book of guidance, not only for yourself but will make you helpful to others, and In the meantime obtain a bottle of Mother's Friend from the druggist, and thus fortify yourself against pain and discomfort.
