PAIN
Get rid of it
When functional pains ol
menstruation are severe, take
CARDUI. If it doesn’t bene
fit you, consult a physician.
Don’t neglect such pains. They
depress the tone of the nerves,
cause sleeplessness, loss of ap
petite, wear out your resist
ance. Get a bottle of Cardui
and see whether it will help
you, as thousands of women
have said it helped them.
Besides easing certain pains, Car
dui aids in building up the whole
system by helping women to gel
more strength from their food.

I Now let’s not talk about vi

that; leave it to the specialists
to theorize on the fine-spun:
let’s talk about the baby—YOUR
baby.
First: Baby is supremely seh
fish. He’s toobusy attending to
his own affairs to bother about
the comfort of any one else—
and, he’s exactly right; if more
people attended to their own
business we’d soon have a better
race of people.
Second: A baby is just a di

with a water-cooled motor. So
long as he is comfortable he will

increase in men non-manual

not kick up a row. No respec
table baby will tolerate a safety
pin boring into his unbilical re
gion nor will he fail to resent
rough seams that grind his arm
pits or groins; remember, if he
is comfortable he will be peace
ful. No baby enjoys howling
any more than you do. Treat
him with sense.
Third: Baby will cease feed
ing when he has enough, and
he’ll do it -every time; but don’t
urge him to take more; when
ever he lets go is the instant for
closing the seance- Of course
he’s just like you, and would
over-stuff rimself just as you
do; then trouble comes. The
keenest of judgment is in know

Lastly: Maybe you have one

maid, and take care of baby
yourself. It’s a religious duty of
yours to care for your own flesh
and blood. A worth-while par
ent will entrust the baby to no
alien hands.
