Often a good preparation of cod-liver oil will increase the weight; and this is also true of many of the extracts of malt. It is useless, however, to try to increase the weight by using a generous diet, unless the digestion is in good order. When the digestion is weak, the person should take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound because of its power to strengthen the digestion and enable the system to obtain all the good possible from the food. =Pimples, Rashes, Eruptions.=--Many persons, especially young girls, are afflicted with pimples on the face, rashes, blackheads, etc. To cure this condition it is necessary that the bowels be made to act regularly each day, which is easily done by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Liver Pills. Then a good course of treatment should be taken with Lydia E. Pinkham's Blood Purifier in order to make the blood perfectly pure in every way. Attention should also be paid to the diet, and such indigestible articles as pork, pickles, rich pies and cakes, and rich sauces, sweetmeats and nuts should be avoided. For local treatment, the face should be washed each day in warm, soapy water, using the best Castile soap. Then with a sponge or wash cloth wash off this water with as hot water as can be borne. It is best to keep up this sponging with the hot water for at least five minutes in order that the face may become thoroughly steamed. The face should then be wiped dry and rubbed briskly for a few minutes. =Burns.=--Burns are likely to occur at any time in the household, and one should always know what to do promptly. The best treatment is to add a teaspoonful of ordinary baking-soda to a cupful of water. Saturate some cloths in this solution and lay them over or loosely bind them about the burned part. This will take out the pain and sting at once. As the cloths become dry, more of the solution should be poured over them, and they should not be removed from the burned parts. After a few hours, these wet cloths may be replaced by cloths well covered with vaseline. =If you do not understand your ailments write to Mrs Pinkham. Her advice is free and always helpful.
