HINTS FOR MEALTIME
How often do we hear women exclaim, "Oh dear, what shall I have for the
next meal?"
This little book will aid you in answering that troublesome question.
The recipes are carefully selected and we hope you will find them
helpful.
More important to you than the question of food is that of health.
Therefore, in this book we show you many letters from women who have
received great benefit by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
You have heard of this splendid medicine, for it has been used by women
for nearly fifty years. It is a Woman's Medicine for Women's Ailments.
It is prepared from medicinal plants that are especially adapted for the
treatment of the troubles women so often have.
As you read these letters remember these women are stating for the
benefit of other women who are sick just how they felt and just how the
Vegetable Compound restored them to health.
You know it is bad enough to worry over the various duties of life when
you are well and strong. It is a serious matter when you are half sick
and all tired out most of the time.
So in the following pages you will find suggestions for the next meal
that may help you, but more important by far are the letters
recommending Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as the splendid
medicine for the ailments of women.
You will read letters from many classes of women, young and old, mother
and daughter. They are genuine expressions of gratitude from one woman
to another.
Thousands of women by word of mouth and by letter highly praise Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"Of all the world's wealth
The best treasure is health,
For without it there's nothing worth while."
BAKING OF BREAD AND ROLLS
[Illustration]
The pans should be well oiled and the loaves should never more than half
fill them.
Bread should be put into a hot oven and loaves should rise during the
first fifteen minutes. It should continue browning for the next twenty
minutes then reduce the heat somewhat. Small loaves require 45 minutes,
large ones 1 hour.
Biscuits and rolls require a hotter oven than bread. They should rise
for the first five minutes and then should begin to brown. After 15
minutes reduce the heat and at 30 minutes the biscuits should be golden
brown and thoroughly baked inside. Remove bread from the pans as soon as
it comes from the oven. Keep covered with a clean cloth until cool then
place in a stone jar or tin box.
WHAT DOES YOUR DRUGGIST SAY
when you ask him if he can recommend any good medicine to you because
you are nervous and run-down and not able to get your work done? He
suggests that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a well-known and
well-made medicine and that he knows many women who take it and
recommend it.
"COULD NOT WORK HALF THE TIME"
"For many years I have had troubles with my nerves and have been in a
general run down condition for some time. I could not do my work half
the time because of troubles every month. I was told of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound by friends and advised to try it. It has
done me good and I strongly recommend it. Since I have taken it I have
been able to do all my own work, and I also know friends who have found
it good. You can use these facts as a testimonial."

1 tablespoon butter
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup scalded milk
1 cup boiling water
1 yeast cake in 1/4 cup lukewarm water
6 cups sifted flour
Method--Put lard, butter, salt and sugar into large bowl. Pour over them
the scalded milk and boiling water. When this is lukewarm add the yeast

form into loaves or biscuits. Allow these to rise until light, then
bake. The amount of yeast used will depend on the length of time the
bread is allowed to rise.
WHAT DO GIRLS DO
who don't have mothers to advise them about their health?
"SHE WAS UNABLE TO ATTEND SCHOOL"
"Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was recommended to me for my
daughter. She had trouble every month which left her in a weak and
nervous condition, with weak back and pain in her right side. She had
these troubles for three years and frequently was unable to attend
school. She has become regular and feels much better since she began
taking the Vegetable Compound and attends school regularly. She is
gaining steadily and I have no hesitancy in recommending Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Lydia E. Pinkham's Blood Medicine."

EVERY TRUE MOTHER
realizes the fact that her baby's health depends upon her own, that the
very vitality of her child is influenced by her own physical condition.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has brought health and strength to
thousands of others.
"I COULD NOT DO A SINGLE BIT OF WORK"
"I was troubled with weak feelings, headache all the time, a cough,
fainting spells and pains in my back and side. I could not do a single
bit of work and had to be helped out to the hammock where I lay in the
fresh air from morning until night and I had to be carried up and down
stairs. After other medicines had failed a friend advised me to take
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as she said it was excellent for
any one in the family way. Before the first bottle was taken I could
walk alone and as I kept on with it I got stronger until I was able to
do all of my work. My baby is now six weeks old and is a big fat healthy
fellow. I am sure Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done wonders
for me and I recommend it to any woman in that condition."

herself recommended it to me and I think its use saved me from an
operation. I highly recommend to all women with troubles like mine."
