A Wife Says-.
" We have four children, With the first
three I suffered almost unbearable pilai from
12 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
b a strong, fat and
healthy boy, doing
my housework up
to within two hours
of birth, and suf
fered but a few hard
pains. This lini
ment is the grand
est remedy ever
made."
Mother'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
stror.2 body and clear intellect, which iq
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. Din
ger of rising or hard breasts is altogethei
avoided, and recovery is merely a matter ol
a few days.
