STEAMER HITS ROCK;
PASSENGERS IN PANIC;
ALL TRANSFERRED
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12. Striking
a rock in the Delaware river about a
mile below Trenton, the steamer Co
lumbia, running between Trenton and
Philadelphia, had a narrow escape from
sinking with several hundred persons
aboard during the night. Ail the pas
sengers "ere rescued by the steamer
Tfwi light.
The work of transferring the passen
gers tn the Twilight was handled with
great rapidity, and while at first the ex
cited men and terrified women and-chil
dren tried to rush from the foundering
vessel, they were quieted by the crew.
Health is the foundation of all good
looks. The wise woman realizes this
and takes precautions to preserve her
health and strength through the pe
riod of child bearing. She remains a
pretty mother by avoiding as far as
possible the suffering and dangers of
such occasions. This every woman
may do through the use of Mother's
Friend, a remedy that has been so long
in use, and accomplished so much
good, that it is in no sense an experi
ment, but a preparation which always
produces the best results. It is for
external application and so penetrating
in its nature as to thoroughly lubricate
every muscle, nerve and tendon in
volved during the period before baby
comes. It aids nature by expanding
the skin and tissues, relieves tender
ness and soreness, and perfectly pre
pares the system for natural and safe
motherhood. Mother's Friend has been
used and endorsed by thousands of
mothers, and its use will prove a com
fort and benefit z -n>-r- •
to any woman in
need of such a z—r-- • jk
remedy. Mother’s .T'Ll L* fIXJ
Friend is sold at
drug stores. Write for free book for
expectant mothers, which contains
much valuable information.
