gets on that road she is always ready to direct some other woman to it.
"IT HAD HELPED MY SISTER"
"I was a sufferer for three years, not able to do my housework. My
husband was discouraged for I was no better and had the doctor all this
time and nothing had helped me. I was always sleepy, had no appetite and
suffered with my left side. My mother, in England, recommended Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound because it had helped my sister, so I have
been taking it. I am now able to do my housework and I cannot praise
your Vegetable Compound too highly, as I have great hopes for the
future. I will tell anyone who writes to me what good it has done me."

"NO SERIOUS TROUBLE"
"I had no disease only I felt tired and had headache very often and
thought I needed a tonic, so I got Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and the Liver Pills. I am now on the third bottle and have not had
headache for over two weeks. Of course I have not had any serious
trouble at all."
MRS. M.A. WATSON,
Victoria St., Cobourg, Ontario.
"I was weak and run down, had no appetite and was nervous. The nurse who
took care of me told me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,

[Illustration]
Ingredients
1 quart milk
4 eggs
4 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
few grains nutmeg

sugar and salt and beat until thick like cream. Beat the four egg whites

fill the cups to overflowing or nearly so. Put hot water in the pan and
bake in a hot oven, watching them carefully that they do not scorch. Lay
buttered paper over if needed. Test with a knife as soon as they begin
to puff up and if the blade comes out clean, not milky, they are done.
DO WOMEN READ
our little books which come so regularly to their homes? We feel sure
that they are read from cover to cover.
"I SEEMED TO BE SMOTHERING"
"I suffered with irregular periods, was weak and run-down, could not eat
and had headaches. The worst symptoms were dragging down pains, so bad I
sometimes thought I would go crazy and I seemed to be smothering. I was
in this condition for two or three years and could not seem to work. I
tried all kinds of remedies but received no benefit. I found one of your
booklets and felt inclined to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
I received the best results from it and now I keep house and go out to
work and am like a new woman."

SUBSTITUTES
[Illustration]
Use jelly tumblers to bake custards in.
Use soldier's long wristers to make gaiters for a baby; just sew an
elastic band at the bottom.
Use cold cream jars to keep pepper, allspice, and other spices in, and
label with a sticker or a piece of surgeon's plaster.
Instead of the usual dust cap, cut a three-cornered piece of
cheese-cloth, hemming the two sides without selvedge and tie around the
head with the point at the back of your neck.
To avoid giving out fresh napkins at every meal, write each name on a
spring clothes-pin and pin to the napkin. You can name your face towel
in this way when camping out.
When cleaning fish use scissors in place of a knife and if it is to be
scaled dip it first into boiling water.
DO YOU KEEP ON TAKING
your medicine when you begin to improve, or do you stop taking it,
trusting that you are on the road to recovery and no more medicine is
needed, even if you have been sick for months and are having your first
hours of relief from pains and nervousness?
"HAVE TAKEN IT FAITHFULLY"
"For five years I suffered with pains in my back and from other troubles
women often have. All of this time I was unfit for work and was taking
different medicines that I thought were good. I saw the advertisement in
the papers of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and have taken it
faithfully. I am now in good health and do all my own work. I recommend
it to others and give you permission to publish this letter in your
little books and in the newspapers as a testimonial."
MRS. D. CASSADY,
Box 461, Paris, Ontario.
HOUSE-CLEANING HINTS
[Illustration]
To clean a painted wall wash it with saleratus water; about one
tablespoonful of saleratus to a quart of warm water.
A piece of zinc placed on the glowing coals will clean the chimney of
soot.
A little lye put in paste will make wall-paper stick.
To drive a nail into plaster, heat it very hot and the plaster will not
break.
To drive nails or screws into hard wood always rub them over with soap
and they will go in easily and will not split the wood.
Shellac the inside of all drawers and they will be easy to clean.
When you remove the waste from your carpet-sweeper, carefully cut the
lint and hair from the revolving rolls and brushes. Then with a cloth
dipped in kerosene rub the bristles and the inside of the box clean, and
the oil will prevent the dust from rising when you sweep.
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT
of writing to us about what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
done for you?
"I AM STRONGER AND FEEL FINE."
"I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound because I was tired and
run down. I had headaches and no appetite and was troubled for two years
with sleeplessness. I tried many medicines but nothing did me any real
good. While I was living in Washington I was recommended by a friend to
take the Vegetable Compound. I am stronger and feel fine since then and
am able to do my housework. I am willing for you to use these facts as a
testimonial."
MRS. J.C. GREAVES,

FIRST AIDS

For a rusty nail accident pour turpentine at once on the afflicted
parts.
For burns put on scraped raw potato instantly and change as often as it
gets warm, until the pain is relieved.
Olive oil will remove gum from a child's hair as if by magic.
When a child puts a bean in his nose, don't try to dig it out. Put a
little cayenne pepper upon his upper lip and he will sneeze it out.
To extract splinters, fill a wide-mouthed bottle almost to the top with
very hot water and place the injured part over the mouth of the bottle
and press lightly. Suction will draw the flesh down and steam will
extract the splinter.

"AFTER BEING MARRIED SIXTEEN YEARS"
"Seven years ago I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and after
being married sixteen years became the mother of a sweet little girl. I
had longed for children all the while and wept many a day and envied
every woman with a child. I was thirty-six years old when my baby was
born. I recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to any woman who
is ailing with female weakness."
