FOOD AND HEALTH
DO WOMEN READ
our little books which come so regularly to
their homes? Indeed they do, and if only one is left at a two-family
house we are asked to send another at once. We feel sure that they are
read from cover to cover.

LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S MEDICINES
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
The original Pinkham
medicine and best known of all.
It has been on the market for nearly
fifty years and is put up in the following forms:
Liquid.
Dose--One tablespoonful every four hours through the day.

Dry (Tablets).
Dose--One tablet every four hours through the day.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative Wash. FOR LEUCORRHOEA AND
INFLAMMATION Liquid, a concentrated extract, ready to dilute and
use at once, the most convenient form. Use daily as a vaginal injection.
Add one teaspoonful (in severe cases two teaspoonfuls) of the Sanative
Wash to one pint of warm water, mix thoroughly and it is ready for use.
(Can be had, if preferred, in dry form, to steep.)
Lydia E. Pinkham's Blood Medicine. FOR POOR BLOOD
We
recommend this as a good blood medicine for either men or women.
Dose--One tablespoonful three times a day, half an hour before eating.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Liver Pills. FOR CONSTIPATION
Dose--Take
three the first night, two the second, and one the third; and unless there
is a regular and healthy movement of the bowels continue taking one
every night.

HINTS FOR MEALTIME
How often do we hear women exclaim,
"Oh dear, what shall I have for the next meal?"
This little book will aid you in answering that troublesome question.

The recipes are carefully selected and we hope you will find them
helpful.
More important to you than the question of food is that of health.
Therefore, in this book we show you many letters from women who
have received great benefit by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. You have heard of this splendid medicine, for it has been
used by women for nearly fifty years. It is a Woman's Medicine for
Women's Ailments. It is prepared from medicinal plants that are
especially adapted for the treatment of the troubles women so often
have.
As you read these letters remember these women are stating for the
benefit of other women who are sick just how they felt and just how the
Vegetable Compound restored them to health.
You know it is bad enough to worry over the various duties of life
when you are well and strong. It is a serious matter when you are half
sick and all tired out most of the time.
So in the following pages you will find suggestions for the next meal
that may help you, but more important by far are the letters
recommending Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as the
splendid medicine for the ailments of women.
You will read letters from many classes of women, young and old,
mother and daughter. They are genuine expressions of gratitude from
one woman to another.
Thousands of women by word of mouth and by letter highly praise
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"Of all the world's wealth
The best treasure is health,
For without it
there's nothing worth while."
BAKING OF BREAD AND ROLLS
[Illustration]
The pans should be well oiled and the loaves should never more than

half fill them.
Bread should be put into a hot oven and loaves should rise during the
first fifteen minutes. 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
