Mothers No young' woman, la the Joy of coming motherhood, should neglect to prepare her system for the phys ical ordeal she ia to undergo. Tb hcalth of both she and her coming' child depends largely upon the care she bestows upon herself during the waiting months. Mother's Friend prepares the expectant mother's sys tem for the coming event, and its use malted her comfortable during all the terra. It works with and for nature, and by gradually expanding all tis sues, muscles and tendons, involved, and keeping the breasts in good con dition, brings the woman to the crisis in splendid physical condition. The baby too is more apt to be perfect and strong where the mother. has thus prepared herself for nature's supreme function. No better advice could be given a young expectant mother thart that she use Mother's Friend ; it is medicine that has proven its value ia taovitadi ci cases.
