Mr. P. Cetcham of Pike City , Gal. ,
" biother's late sickness
says : "During uiy
ness from sciatic rheumatism , Chamber
lain's Pain Balm was the only remedy
that gave him any relief. " Many others
have testified to the prompt relief from
pain which this liniment affords. For
sale by L. W. McConuell , druggist.
"We have four children , With the first
three I suffered almost unbearable pains from
J2 to 14 hours , and had to be placed under
the influence of chloroform. I used three
bottles of Mother's Friend before our last
child came , which
is a strong , fat and
healthy boy , doing
ray housework up
to within two hours
of birth , and suf
fered but a few hard
pains. This lini
ment is the grand-s
est remedy ever\ > .
made. "
'S
Friend
will do for every woman what it did for the
Minnesota mother who writes the above let
ter. Not to use it during pregnancy is a
mistake to be paid for in pain and suffering.
Mother's Friend equips the patient with a
strong body and clear intellect , which in
turn are imparted to the child. It relaxes
the muscles and allows them to expand. It
relieves morning sickness and nervousness.
It puts all the organs concerned in perfect
condition for the final hour , so that the actual
labor is short and practically painless. Dan
ger of rising or hard breasts is altogether
avoided , and recovery is merely a matter of
a few days.
Druggists sell Mother's Friend for $1 a bottle.
