Cooking; Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Company; Patent medicines; Women -- Health and hygiene
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 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? He
suggests that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a well-known and
well-made medicine and that he knows many women who take it and
recommend it.
"COULD NOT WORK HALF THE TIME"
"For many years I have had troubles with my nerves and have been in a
general run down condition for some time. 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."
