"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.

has been a great help to me. I recommend it, and you can use this letter
as a testimonial if you wish."

"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."

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.
