Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right +of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project +Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all +liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal +fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS,' WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any +provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. + +1.F.6.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact +information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official +page at https://www.gutenberg.org/about/contact + +For additional contact information: + Dr. Gregory B. Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: +https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + +<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org">https://www.gutenberg.org</a> + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + +<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/">https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/</a> + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + +https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: +https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An

It should continue browning for the next twenty +minutes then reduce the heat somewhat. Small loaves require 45 minutes, +large ones 1 hour. + +Biscuits and rolls require a hotter oven than bread. They should rise +for the first five minutes and then should begin to brown. After 15 +minutes reduce the heat and at 30 minutes the biscuits should be golden +brown and thoroughly baked inside. Remove bread from the pans as soon as +it comes from the oven. Keep covered with a clean cloth until cool then +place in a stone jar or tin box. + +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?

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." +MRS.

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, +Ball St., Cobourg, Ontario. + + +CORN CAKE +[Illustration] + +Ingredients +2 cups Indian Meal +1 cup flour +1/2 cup sugar +1 teaspoon salt +1 egg +1 teaspoon soda +2 cups sour milk + +Method--Sift the dry ingredients together except the soda.

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." +MRS. MURRAY J. BARTON, R.R. No. 1, +Cumberland Bay, New Brunswick. + + +TEA BISCUIT +[Illustration] + +Ingredients +2 cups bread flour +4 teaspoons baking powder +1/2 teaspoon salt +1 to 2 tablespoons shortening +3/4 cup milk + +Method--Sift the dry ingredients together, mix in fat with the tips of +fingers, then add the milk a little at a time or cut it in with a knife. +The dough should be as soft as can be easily handled. Roll lightly until +one inch thick, cut in rounds and bake in a hot oven for 15 or 20 +minutes. + +AN EVIDENCE OF CONFIDENCE +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 Compound merits such confidence. Women all +over Canada as well as in the United States take our medicine and tell +its worth. + +"SAVED ME FROM AN OPERATION" +"I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at the change of life for +troubles women often have. I had not been well for a year and was not +really able to do my work. A friend who had taken the Vegetable Compound +herself recommended it to me and I think its use saved me from an +operation. I highly recommend to all women with troubles like mine." +MRS. DANIEL J. TRACEY, +Knightington, Ontario. + +"A FRIEND RECOMMENDED IT" +"A friend in Rose Valley recommended Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable +Compound to me, and it has been a great help to me. I recommend it, and +you can use this letter as a testimonial if you wish." +MRS. PETER NORDIN, +Wadena, Saskatchewan. + + +OMELET +[Illustration] + +Ingredients +1 egg +1 tablespoon hot water +1 salt spoon salt +Few grains of pepper + +Method--Separate the white from the yoke of the egg and beat it until +stiff. Beat the yolk until thick and add the hot water and salt. Fold +the beaten white of the egg in and put into a buttered pan. Cook slowly +until puffed and brown. + +SCRAMBLED EGGS + +Ingredients +1 egg +1 tablespoon milk or water +1/2 salt spoon salt +Few grains of pepper + +Method--Beat the eggs slightly and add liquid and seasonings.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound are needed to give surprising +results, as so many women tell us. + +"HAD NO AMBITION" +"I suffered greatly from weakness, seemed to be tired all the time, and +had no ambition to do anything or go any place. My nerves were in bad +shape, I could not sleep at night and then came a breakdown. I read of +Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in the newspapers and several of +my friends advised me to use it. It surely put new life into me and now +I am quite able to do all my own work." +MRS. CHAS. WAKELIN, +272 Christie St., Toronto, Ontario. + + +SWEET MILK GRIDDLE CAKES +[Illustration] + +Ingredients +3 cups flour +2 tablespoons sugar +1/2 teaspoon salt +4 tablespoons baking powder +1 egg +2 cups milk +2 tablespoons melted fat + +Method--Mix and sift dry ingredients. Add beaten egg, milk and fat to +make a thin batter. Drop on a hot oiled griddle and brown on both sides. + +SAVINGS +Save all the waxed paper that crackers and bread come wrapped in. It is +very handy to roll out pie-crust or biscuits on, also doughnuts and +cookies, and saves washing the pastry board. + +IF YOU HAVE TO WORK +you must have good health in order to do your work well. Besides this, +you want to be able to play afterwards and both work and play require +good health. It is a great handicap to be lacking in energy when you are +young and should be strong. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will +help that tired feeling which many girls have. + +"I HAD TO STAY IN BED" +"I suffered for three years with troubles women often have. About every +three weeks I had to stay in bed four or five days. I nearly went crazy +with pains in my back, and for about a week at a time I could not do my +work. I saw Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound advertised in the +'Hamilton Spectator' and I took it. Now I have no pain and am quite +regular unless I overwork or stay on my feet from early morning until +late at night. I keep house and do all my own work without any trouble. +I have recommended the Vegetable Compound to several friends." +MRS. EMILY BEECROFT, +16 Douglas St., Hamilton, Ontario. + + +VINEGAR +[Illustration] + +A spoonful of vinegar added to the water when cooking corned beef will +make it more tender. + +To make pie-crust flaky try adding one-half a spoonful of vinegar to the +cold water before mixing. + +Add vinegar to the water in which you soak wilted vegetables and they +will revive quickly and any little bugs in them will come out. + +Add vinegar to the water when washing windows or paint or cleaning +floors. + +If paint or varnish is on a window, wet it with hot vinegar and rub it +off with a cent. + +To take the shine from clothing, sponge the shiny places with boiling +hot vinegar, rubbing vigorously, then press as usual. + +IT IS PERFECTLY SAFE +for any one to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound whenever such +a medicine is needed. It contains no narcotics nor harmful drugs and is +made in the most accurate and sanitary manner. Can a medicine be a fraud +that is compounded from nature's own remedies, the roots and herbs of +the fields, that has stood the test of time by restoring health and +happiness to thousands of suffering women? + +"FOR WOMEN'S TROUBLES" +"I saw Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound advertised for women's +troubles, and when a friend recommended it to me I tried it, and it has +done me so much good in the two years in which I have been taking it +that I find I am a different woman since then. I recommend your +Vegetable Compound as much as I can and you may use my letter as a +testimonial." +MRS. WM. J. THOMAS, +Melaval, Saskatchewan. + + +CASSEROLE OF RICE AND MEAT +[Illustration] + +Ingredients +2 cups steamed rice +2 cups chopped seasoned meat +1 cup gravy or tomato sauce +1/2 cup buttered crumbs + +Method--Place in a baking dish a layer of rice, over this sprinkle a +layer of chopped meat and repeat until the dish is nearly filled; then +pour gravy or tomato sauce over the meat. Cover with the buttered crumbs +and bake until brown. + +HELPFUL HINTS +To keep the daily paper from blowing away when it is left on the porch, +get the carrier to snap it into a spring clothes-pin which is tied to +the railing. + +WHEN A WOMAN KNOWS +that a certain medicine is good she wants no substitute or makeshift. +The women who take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound are of this +class. They know what they want and they will take nothing else. + +"COULD NOT SLEEP" +"I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for weakness of the female +organs. I had pains in the back and bearing-down pains in the abdomen +and was in a general run-down condition. I could not sleep, rest or +work, and was quite unfit to do even light household tasks. A friend +told me about your Vegetable Compound and I in my turn truly recommend +it, as my severe symptoms vanished and I am better in every way. I do my +own work, look after my children and see to chickens, a cow, and my +garden. I also recommend it for young girls who are weak and rundown, as +my 16-year-old daughter has taken it and is quite her own gay self +again." +MRS. FRED. WILEY, +Viscount, Saskatchewan. + + +FILIPINO ROLL +[Illustration] + +Ingredients +1 sweet green pepper +2 onions +1 lb. Hamburg steak +1 cup bread crumbs +1 egg +2 teaspoons salt +1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce +5 or 6 slices of bacon + +Sauce +1 cup tomato soup +1 tablespoon flour +1 teaspoon sugar +1/2 cup water + +Method--Wash the pepper and remove the seeds, add onions and chop +together. Mix with meat, breadcrumbs and well beaten egg. Add seasonings +and form into a roll. Cover with bacon and bake 45 minutes in a +moderately hot oven. Remove to platter, add water to make gravy and +strain into it the thickened tomato soup. Let it boil a few minutes then +pour around the roll. + +A FEW MINUTES +of any woman's time is well spent if she will read what Lydia E. +Pinkham's Vegetable Compound does for sick and ailing women. + +"ONE OF YOUR LITTLE BOOKS" +"I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for weakness and female +disorders. I was so weak at times that I could not stand up. I had been +this way for nearly three years, and the different medicines I had taken +had not done me any good. I found one of your little books at my door +one day and thought I would give your medicine a trial. I am now on my +fifth bottle and it is wonderful the way it has helped me. I am feeling +much better, have no weak spells, and can do all my work now. I am +recommending your Vegetable Compound to all I know." +MRS. CASEY LEMERY, +176 Abbott St., Brockville, Ontario. + + +MOCK MEAT CAKES +[Illustration] + +Ingredients +1/2 cup dried peas or beans +5 medium potatoes +1/2 cup grated cheese +1/2 cup fine breadcrumbs +1 egg (beaten) +1 tablespoon melted bacon fat +salt and pepper + +Method--Soak peas or beans over night, then boil until very tender. Boil +and mash potatoes. Add mashed beans, grated cheese, bread-crumbs, beaten +egg, bacon fat and seasonings. When cool shape into cakes, dip into +cornmeal and fry. + +WHY ARE SOME WOMEN +happy, beloved, and successful, while others drag out a negative +existence, of no use to themselves or anyone else? Except in a few cases +the answer is to be found in a state of freedom from the troubles known +as "female." The well woman radiates cheerfulness and serenity, while +the ailing one repels you with her despondency. It is not necessary, +however, to harbor aches and pains, and the "blues," which make one a +detriment to society. The use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound +has brought relief to such women, and given them a new lease of life. + +"A GENERAL RUN-DOWN CONDITION" +"I was in a general run-down condition, with a weak back and tired +feeling, so that I did not feel like working. My mother was taking Lydia +E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and recommended it to me, so I have +taken it, and my back is better and I am now able to do my work. I +recommend the Vegetable Compound to my neighbors and you may publish +this letter." +MRS. JOSEPHAT A. GRENIER, +Hesketh, Alberta. + + +DRY BEAN CHOWDER +[Illustration] + +Ingredients +1 cup dried beans +2 slices bacon (diced) +1 can corn +1 can tomatoes +salt and pepper +cracker crumbs + +Method--Soak the beans over night and boil until tender. Drain into a +fire-proof casserole. Try out the fat from the bacon until it is +perfectly crisp, care being taken that it is not burned. Then add corn, +seasoning and tomatoes. Mix all and add to beans. Sprinkle cracker +crumbs over the top and bake twenty-five minutes. Serve from the +casserole. + +IN THIS GENERATION +it is 'the style' to be healthy. Our heroines no longer languish and +faint. They are all healthy girls and women who do a day's work or play +just as a man does. If some of us are not so healthy as this, we try to +be and take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound when we feel the need. + +"I WAS A TOTAL WRECK" +"Before using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. +I had terrible pains in my sides and was not regular. Finally I got so +weak I could not go upstairs without stopping to rest halfway up. I saw +your medicine advertised in the newspapers and gave it a trial. I took +four bottles of the Vegetable Compound and was restored to health. I am +married, am the mother of two children, and do all my own housework, +milk eight cows and do a hired man's work and enjoy the best of health. +I also found the Vegetable Compound a great help for my weak back before +my babies were born. I recommend it to all my friends." +MRS. HENRY JANKE, +Marmion, Ontario. + + +COOKING HINTS +[Illustration] + +Never throw away the feet of a fowl as they are excellent for making +soups, broths and jellies. You can buy extra feet from the butcher. Dip +them in boiling water for a few seconds and they may be readily skinned. +Boil with the chicken until they fall to pieces, then strain the broth. + +Before baking potatoes let them stand in hot water for fifteen minutes. +They will require only half the time to bake. + +Pour boiling water on oranges and let them stand for five minutes. This +will make the white lining come away from the skin and they will be +easier to prepare for a pudding. + +ANY HOSPITAL EXPERIENCE +is painful as well as costly and frequently dangerous. Many women have +avoided this experience by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound +in time, thereby relieving the present distress and preventing the +development of conditions that might require an operation. + +"THEY SAID I NEEDED AN OPERATION" +"I suffered from the time I was a schoolgirl until I had taken your +medicine with pain in my left side and with cramps, growing worse each +year until I was all rundown. I was so bad at times that I was unfit for +work. I tried several doctors and patent medicines but was only relieved +for a short time. Some of the doctors wanted to have an operation, but +my father objected. Finally I learned through my mother of Lydia E. +Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and how thankful I am that I tried it. I +am relieved from pains and cramps and feel as if it has saved my life. +You may use my letter to help other women, as I am glad to recommend the +medicine." +MRS. H.A. GOODMAN, +14 Rockvale Ave., Toronto, Ontario. + + +HINTS AND HELPS +[Illustration] + +The common nut-cracker makes a splendid little household wrench for cans +and bottles with screw tops. Even glass stoppers will yield to it. + +A pair of scissors in the pantry to cut up raisins, suet, citron, etc., +is easier to use then the chopper. A metal shoe-horn that has a hole in +the top to hang it up by, makes a good kettle scraper. + +Use a bicycle pump to clean such parts of the sewing machine as you +cannot reach with a cloth or with an old tooth brush. + +Save the sand-paper which comes on the match-boxes and use it for +scraping, cleaning, etc. + +Ammonia water will remove the cloudy appearance from the preserve jars +in which vegetables have been canned. + +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." +MRS. W.H. PARKER, +19 Wellesley Ave., Toronto, Ontario. + + +DUTCH CHEESE +[Illustration] + +Ingredients +1 quart sour milk +1/3 to 1 teaspoon salt +1/4 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." +MRS.

Add liquid gradually. Cook in double boiler +until thick and creamy. + +WEAKNESS MAY SHOW +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.

Beat +well and drop by tablespoonfuls on a buttered pan 2 inches apart. Bake +in a moderately hot oven. Always use a tin pan. + +A LITTLE CARE +when one is young is not much to pay for good health afterwards. Take +Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for any weakness you may have. +This well-known medicine is recommended by mothers to their daughters, +by sisters to one another, and by friends and neighbors to the woman +whose loved ones are far from her when she needs them most. + +"AM PERFECTLY SATISFIED" +"When my husband was called back to England in 1914, I took Lydia E. +Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to strengthen me so that I could work.

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.

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.

It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: +https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone.
