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."

WHITE BREAD
[Illustration]
Ingredients
1 tablespoon lard
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 cake dissolved in luke-warm water. Sift in flour gradually,
beating with a spoon. Toss on a floured board and knead until smooth.
Allow it to rise over night in a moderately warm place or until it
doubles its original size. Cut down or knead and allow it to rise until
light, then 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." MRS. JOHN TOMS,

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."

in a friend is to follow her
advice, especially if it is not hearsay evidence but something which she
has tried out on herself and proved. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
