Every woman in the country
ought to know about
Mother’s Friend
Those who do know about it
wonder how they ever got along
without it. It has robbed child
birth of its terrors for many a
.
young wife, it has preserved her
girlish figure and saved her much
suffering. It is an external lini
ment and carries with it therefore,
absolutely no danger of upsetting
the system as drugs taken intern
ally are apt to do. It is to be
rubbed into the abdomen to soften
and strengthen the muscles which
are to bear the strain. This means
much less pain. It also prevents
morning sickness and all of the
other discomforts of pregnancy.
A druggist of Macon, quantity Ga., says: of
“I have sold a large
Mother’s Friend and have never
known an instance where it has
failed to produce the good results
claimed for it.”
.A prominent writes: lady “With of Latn
berton, Ark., my
first six children 1 was in labor
from 24 to 30 hours. After using
Mother’s Friend, my seventh was
born in 4 hours.”
