only natural feelings and when things are the reverse and he has to help do the work, he looks for the cause of the trouble and its remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will help women keep strong and well.
"WITH MY HUSBAND'S HELP"

"I used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for pains across the small of my back. They bothered me so badly that I could do my work only with my husband's help. One day we saw the 'ad' in our paper telling what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is doing for women so I began to take it. It has helped me wonderfully. I am feeling fine, do all my housework and washing for seven in the family. I had been irregular too, and now I am all right. I am telling my friends what it has done for me and am sure it will do good for others. I will stand up for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound any time."

HOWEVER BUSY

a woman is she always finds time to read the daily papers. And she may read the Bargains first and the Weather Report last, but she always reads the testimonial letters advertising Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. She wants to know what experience other women have had with this great medicine.

"WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS THIRTEEN"

"When my daughter was thirteen and until she was fifteen she suffered every month so that she could hardly move around the house and when she would have the pains in school she would have to be carried home. 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. She does not have the least bit of trouble now, and we both recommend your medicine. She works in a candy-shop now and seems well and strong. I give you permission to publish this letter as a testimonial."

PIE CRUST
Ingredients

1½ cups flour
3 tablespoons lard
½ teaspoon salt
cold water
3 tablespoons butter

Method—Wash butter and squeeze until water and salt has been removed. Chill the lard then chop it into the flour, with two knives. Add salt and moisten it to a dough with cold water. (Ice water is not essential but is desirable in summer.) Toss on a floured board and roll out. Fold to make three layers and put the butter between the layers. Turn half way round, pat, and roll out. Cut off the sides of it and roll into shape for the plate. Roll the center for the upper crust, cutting slits in it to let out steam. Fold the upper crust under the edge of the lower crust. Bake in a moderately hot oven 40-50 minutes. Pastry may be used immediately or chilled before using. It must not come in contact with the ice.

IF THERE IS ONE THING

more than another that a woman should care about it is her health. She may be cheated in her happiest hopes because she does not know that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound can be safely taken by all women.

I have recommended your Vegetable Compound to quite a few friends and you can use my name if you wish to do so."

"AS IF I MUST SCREAM"

Even the sound of my own children playing made be feel as if I must scream if they did not get away from me. I could not even speak right to my husband. The doctor said that he could do nothing for me owing to my condition. My husband's grandmother advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I started it right away and everyone noticed what a different woman I was in a short time. I was able to do my work once more, and it was a pleasure, not a burden."

"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 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."
