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. •
