rather as an aid We lay it down as an established truth that internal remedies are positively injuri ous to expectant mothers The distress and discomforts experienced during the months preceding childbirth can be al leviated only by external treatment by applying a liniment that softens and re laxes the over strained muscles We make and sell such a liniment com bining the ingredients in a manner hitherto unknown and call it Mothers Friend We know that in thousands of cases it has proved more than a blessing to expectant mothers It overcomes morn ing sickness It relieves the sense of tightness Headaches cease and dan ger from Swollen Hard and Rising Breasts is avoided Labor itself is shortened and shorn of most of the pain We know that many doctors recom mend it and we know that multitudes of women go to the drug stores and buy it because they are sure their physicians have no objections We ask a trial just a fair test There is no possible chance of injury being the result be cause Mothers Friend is scientific ally compounded It is sold at i a bot tle and should be used during most of the period of gestation although great relief is experienced if tused only a short time
