ingly difficult.

rear platform of train No. 9 and that

Voice
Every woman’s heart responds to
the charm and sweetness of a baby's
voice, because nature intended her for
motherhood. But even the loving
nature of a mother shrinks from the
ordeal because such a time is usually
a period of suffering and danger.
Women who use Mother’s Friend are
saved much discomfort and suffering,
and their systems, being thoroughly
prepared by this great, remedy, are
!n a healthy condition to meet the
time with the least possible suffering
and danger. Mother’s Friend Is
recommended only for the relief and
comfort of expectant mothers; it is in
no sense a remedy for various Dis,
but Its many years of success, and
the thousands of endorsements re
ceived from women who have used it
are a guarantee of the benefit to be
derived from its use. This remedy
does not accomplish wonders but sim
ply assists nature to perfect its work.
