With the first three I suffered almost unbearable pains from 12 to 14 hours, and had to be placed under the influence of chloroform. I used three I bottles of Mother's Friend before our last child came, which is a strong, fat and healthy boy, doing my housework up \ M to within two hours < ? of birth, and suf- \ fered but a few hard ^ pains. This lini- / Y~ \* mentis the grand-1 f/\)wT/ / Jj_ f// est remedy everjjj Mother's T \i! Friend ' n\! will do for every woman what it did for the Minnesota mother who writes the above letter. Not to use it during pregnancy is a mistake to be paid for in pain and suffering. Mother's Friend equips the patient with a strong body and clear intellect, which in turn are imparted to the child. It relaxes the muscles and allows them to expand. It relieves morning sickness and nervousness. It puts all the organs concerned in perfect condition for the final hour, so that the actual labor is short and practically painless. Danger of rising or hard breasts is altogether avoided, and recovery is merely a matter oi a few days. Druggists sell Mother's Friend lor ft a bottle.

She was apparently loaded with grain or soft coal and was old. After leaving the blazing ship the two tugs cruised in the vicinity for two hours searching for the crew, who were believed to bo afloat in a small boat. Although they sent up 12 rockets, their search was not successful and both returned here. The steam pilot boat Hila continued the hunt until daylight, but saw not a sign of the missing crew.

Tho i three life saving crows from this vi cinlty were joined by the crew6 from i two stations north of here and these men battled for hours in a fruitless eni deavor to penetrate the ice and get to the perchance imperiled crew of the i ship. Their efforts were in vain, liowi over ,as they were unable to forco i their frail boats through the packed . ice. Long alter midnight the brave i men gave up their battle against tho \ elements and returned to shore. Their i suffernig was intense. One of the surfi men from tho city was found to he badly frozen, and he was carried in an almost unconscious condition from the ; beaoh to the station, where medical assistance was rendered. All during the nlglit the residents of this place , lined the beach and watched the burning ship through marine glasses. When the fire was at its height uie flames leaped high into the air. Today smoke Is issuing from the hulk, which api pears to bo drifting in the ice. The , schooner was first soon about G miles i off Cape May Saturday night. It is i believed she was then caught In the ice, which finally started a leak and led the captain to set fire to the ship and auandon her. Searched for Crew In Vain. Atlantic City, N. J..
