A druggist in Macon, Ga., says: "I have sold a large quantity of Mother's Friend, and nave never known an in? stance vherc it has failed to produce the good results claimed for it. All women agree that it makes labor shorter and less painful." Mother's Friend is not a chance remedy. Its good effects are readily experienced by all expectant mothers who use it. Years ago it passed the experimental stave. While it always shortens labor and lessens the pains of delivery, it is also o ? the greatest benefit during the earlier months of pregnancy. Morning sickness and nervousness are readily overcome, and the liniment relaxes the strained muscles, permitting them to expand without causing distress. Mother's Friend gives great recuperative power to the mother, and her recovery is sure and rapid. Danger from rising and swelled breasts is done away with completely.
