All the pas sengers were rescued by the steamer Twilight. The work of transferring the passen gers to 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 vised and endorsed by thousands of mothers, and its use will prove a com fort and benefit 1 to any woman in need of such a • «k remedy. Mother's Friend is sold at IRV drug stores. Write for free book for expectant mothers, which contains much valuable information. JRADFIELD REGULATOR CO., Atlant., Gt.
