THE BEST ADVERTISED MEDICINE

in the world is the medicine which has the most friends.

"IT HAS DONE SO MUCH FOR WOMEN"

"I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for years, and it is the only patent medicine I ever recommend. I am a nurse, and if I find a woman is in poor health I always tell her to take it. Although you know doctors and nurses do not use patent medicines I must say that I think there is nothing better than your Vegetable Compound. When I first took it many years ago, I was that tired when I got up in the morning that I was weak and I could not eat nor sleep. My mother-in-law told me that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was just what I wanted, so I tried it, and only took two bottles when I felt better. Since then I have found that there is nothing that makes me feel so well, for it seems to build my system right up. I don't know any other medicine that has done so much for women."

milk bottle and bowl
DUTCH CHEESE
Ingredients

1 quart sour milk
â…“ to 1 teaspoon salt
ÂĽ cup sour or sweet cream
(or 1 large tablespoon butter)

Method—The milk should be freshly sour to get the best flavor. This is best obtained by adding a little sour milk to five or six times the amount of sweet milk. It should be kept in a warm place (the back of the stove) until the curd of the milk is thick and smooth and the whey is watery and has risen to the top. Drain in a cheese cloth bag until dry. Add cream (or butter) and salt. If the process needs to be hurried stir into the milk a cup full of nearly boiling water. Leave to settle before draining. As the cheese is very rich in protein it easily becomes tough by overheating. For the same reason it is very nourishing.

THE CONTINUED SUCCESS

of a medicine depends entirely upon its merit. For nearly fifty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been demonstrating its worth among women as a valuable medicine for the treatment of female ills, and the tremendous volume of letters on file in the Pinkham laboratory at Lynn, Massachusetts, from grateful women in all parts of the United States and Canada is ample proof of its merit.

"A LOT OF GOOD"

"I had female troubles for two years. I always had a headache and a pain in my side, and sometimes I felt so weak that I could not do my work. A friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I have taken six bottles of it. It has done me a lot of good and I am still taking it. I will tell my friends of your medicine and hope they will try it."

MRS. CAMILLE DesROCHE,
Miscouche, Prince Edward's Island.

CAKE-MAKING

Success in cake-making depends on careful combining of ingredients, accurate measurements and careful baking. To make cake light and close in texture, thorough beating is necessary.

Baking—Small and layer cakes require a hot oven for 10 to 20 minutes.

Loaf cakes need a moderate oven from 40 to 60 minutes. In the beginning the oven should be hot enough to cause the cake to rise and then to form a crust which holds the gases. When the cake has risen to its full height decrease the heat so that the cake may finish baking without becoming too brown. If the oven is too hot at first a crust will be formed before the cake is risen. If not hot enough, gas will not be retained in the cake. Either of these conditions will make the cake heavy.

Testing—The cake is baked if, when pressed lightly upon the top in the middle, it springs back again. It usually shrinks from the sides of the pan. A deep cake may be tested with a clean straw.

Methods of work—First grease and flour the pans. Collect all materials and utensils needed and make sure that the oven will be ready. Do this before combining any materials.

WE READ

a good deal about "Pre-Natal Care"—the care of the mother before her child is born—and we all agree that a healthy and happy mother is the one to have the best babies.

"SO SMART AND HEALTHY"

"When I would get out of bed in the morning I could hardly stand on my feet for weakness and a bearing-down pain. I heard of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and tried it with Lydia E. Pinkham's Liver Pills and used Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative Wash for the white flow, and was doing fine. This was before my little girl was born. She is so smart and healthy and good-natured that I think the Compound must have made her that way."

in early girlhood and if attended to at that time and not allowed to develop into serious troubles by carelessness or overwork, girls will grow stronger as they grow older. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is what many mothers give their girls in these early years.

"MY MOTHER-IN-LAW TOLD ME"

"I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for female troubles. I would have headaches, backache, pains between my shoulders and under my shoulder-blades, and bad feelings in the lower parts on each side, in the groins. I was sometimes unable to do my work and felt very badly. My mother-in-law told me about the Vegetable Compound and I got some right away. It has done me more good than any other medicine I ever took, and I recommend it to my neighbors."

ARE YOU INTERESTED

in a letter from a woman in South Africa who takes Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound?

"ONE OF YOUR LITTLE BOOKS"

"I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for weakness and because I felt run down. I tried a lot of medicine before I tried yours. One day I was standing on my stoop when a boy came up to me and handed me one of your little books. I read the book, and the next day my husband went to a chemist and bought me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I have taken the medicine ever since and I feel quite strong and well now as I am on the sixth bottle. I have written to my sister and told her all about the wonders it has done for me, and I am quite willing for you to use my name, as I cannot thank you enough for what it has done for me."

MRS. MAX RETZER,
