price the consumer pays. We purpose to show the readers of this book
how to have, in most instances, better articles than those they buy,
for a small percentage of the cost. To do this, we have, by our own
personal investigation, gathered a number of valuable recipes
together, and have paid for the privilege of using them.

We give in "The Ladies' Book of Useful Information" twelve recipes
which have never before been published, and which, if you once
possess, you will never wish to be without, as they are truly valuable
secrets.

The list is as follows: Healing salve; Magnetic croup cure; Worm
elixir; Brilliant self-shining stove polish; Wonderful starch enamel;
Royal washing powder; Magic annihilator; I X L baking powder; Electric
powder; French polish or dressing for leather; Artificial honey.

It also contains a list of all the poisons and their antidotes. It
describes the symptoms of poisoning and how to proceed in each case.
