"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, and now I am getting strong. I recommend your medicine to my friends."

bowl and custard cups
1 quart milk
4 eggs
4 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon salt
few grains nutmeg
Method—Scald one quart of rich creamy milk. Beat four egg yolks, add sugar and salt and beat until thick like cream. Beat the four egg whites until foamy, not stiff, mix well with the yolks and sugar and add scalded milk. Stand the cups in a shallow pan, stir the foam down, and 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.

"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."

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.
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?
"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."

bucket, brush, wood and lye
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.
of writing to us about what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for you?
"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."

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.

"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."
