On It XjJdDlMKBDd Every woman covet shapely, pretty figure, and many of them deplore the lost of their girlish form after marriage. The bearing of children it often destructive to the mother's shapeliness. All of this can be avoided, however, by the use of Mother's Friend before baby comes, as this great liniment always prepares the body for the strain upon it, and reserves the symmetry of her form. Mother's Friend overcomes all the anger of child-birth, and carries the expectant mother safely through this critical period without pain. It is woman's greatest blessing. Thousands gratefully tell of the benefit and relief derived from the use of this wonderful remedy. Sold by all druggists at fi.oo per bottle.
