WHEN A MAN
comes home from work at night, he wants to find his home clean and
comfortable, his supper ready, his children happy and his wife smiling a
welcome to him. These are only natural feelings and when things are the
reverse and he has to help do the work, he looks for the cause of the
trouble and its remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will help
women keep strong and well.
"WITH MY HUSBAND'S HELP"
"I used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for pains across the small
of my back. They bothered me so badly that I could do my work only with
my husband's help. One day we saw the 'ad' in our paper telling what
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is doing for women so I began to
take it. It has helped me wonderfully. I am feeling fine, do all my
housework and washing for seven in the family. I had been irregular too,
and now I am all right. I am telling my friends what it has done for me
and am sure it will do good for others. I will stand up for Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound any time."

MOCHA FROSTING
[Illustration]
Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup confectioner's sugar
2 tablespoons cold boiled coffee
2 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Method--Cream the butter and sugar, add the remaining ingredients and
enough more sugar to make it creamy.
Plain icing may be made by moistening confectioner's sugar with milk or
water (either hot or cold) and adding flavoring. Either this or white
frosting may be used as a foundation for nuts or chopped fruit. Orange
frosting may be made by moistening the sugar with orange juice.
HOWEVER BUSY
a woman is she always finds time to read the daily papers. And she may
read the Bargains first and the Weather Report last, but she always
reads the testimonial letters advertising Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. She wants to know what experience other women have had with
this great medicine.
"WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS THIRTEEN"
"When my daughter was thirteen and until she was fifteen she suffered
every month so that she could hardly move around the house and when she
would have the pains in school she would have to be carried home. She
also had headache, dizzy and faint spells, and soreness in her back. I
saw your advertisement in the 'Hamilton Spectator' and got Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for her. She does not have the least bit of
trouble now, and we both recommend your medicine. She works in a
candy-shop now and seems well and strong. I give you permission to
publish this letter as a testimonial."

"MAN MAY WORK
from sun to sun, but woman's work is never done." Women continually
overdo and drift along from bad to worse. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is a standard medicine for women's troubles.
"WE HAVE TO DO OUR OWN WORK"
"I saw in the newspapers where Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was
doing so much good to women, and as I needed something I began to take
it. I used to be very sick, but I am not now. I live on a farm in the
homestead district and we have to do all our own work. I tell all the
women I see what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound does for me. I
think it saves me from going to a doctor and is the best medicine women
can take."

PIE CRUST
[Illustration]
Ingredients
1-1/2 cups flour
3 tablespoons lard
1/2 teaspoon salt
cold water
3 tablespoons butter
Method--Wash butter and squeeze until water and salt has been removed.
Chill the lard then chop it into the flour, with two knives. Add salt
and moisten it to a dough with cold water. (Ice water is not essential
but is desirable in summer.) Toss on a floured board and roll out. Fold
to make three layers and put the butter between the layers. Turn half
way round, pat, and roll out. Cut off the sides of it and roll into
shape for the plate. Roll the center for the upper crust, cutting slits
in it to let out steam. Fold the upper crust under the edge of the lower
crust. Bake in a moderately hot oven 40-50 minutes. Pastry may be used
immediately or chilled before using. It must not come in contact with
the ice.
IF THERE IS ONE THING
more than another that a woman should care about it is her health. She
may be cheated in her happiest hopes because she does not know that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound can be safely taken by all women.
"MY BACK SEEMED THE WORST"
"I was so weak that I could hardly do anything and my back seemed the
worst. I read so much about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for
women that I thought I would try it. I feel that it did help me. I am
looking after my own home now and seem quite strong again. I have
recommended your Vegetable Compound to quite a few friends and you can
use my name if you wish to do so."

DO YOU FEEL
broken-down, nervous and weak sometimes? Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is excellent to take at such a time. It always helps and if
taken regularly and persistently will relieve this condition.
"AS IF I MUST SCREAM"
"I cannot speak too highly of what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has done for me. I was a nervous wreck and I just had to force myself to
do my work. Even the sound of my own children playing made be feel as if
I must scream if they did not get away from me. I could not even speak
right to my husband. The doctor said that he could do nothing for me
owing to my condition. My husband's grandmother advised me to take Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I started it right away and everyone
noticed what a different woman I was in a short time. I was able to do
my work once more, and it was a pleasure, not a burden."
