THE ADVOCATE-DEMOCRAT. ’A' m VOL, XXVI. P 3 *@tiy GMidren “We have three children. Before the birth of the last one my wife used four bot¬ tles of MOTHER'S FRIEND. If you had the pictures of our children, you could see at a glance that the last one Is healthiest, prettiest and finest-looking of them all. ,-sW ,v. My wife thinks Mother’s Friend is the greatest mm? and grandest *\ remedy in the . World for expect¬ M i ant mothers/’— m i% Written by a Ken¬ >\ tucky Attomey-at bS A -Law. i prevents nine-tenths of the suffering incident to child¬ birth. The coming mother’s disposition and temper remain unruffled throughout the ordeal, because this relax¬ ing, penetrating liniment relieves the usual distress. A good-natured mother is pretty sure to have a good-natured child. The patient is kept in a strong, healthy condition, which the child also inherits. Mother’s Friend takes a wife through the crisis quickly and almost painlessly. It assists in her rapid recovery, and wards off the dangers that so often follow de¬ livery. • SolU by druggists for $1 a bottle THE BRADHELD REGULATOR CO.
