To drive nails or screws into hard wood always rub them over with soap
and they will go in easily and will not split the wood.

Shellac the inside of all drawers and they will be easy to clean.

When you remove the waste from your carpet-sweeper, carefully cut the

dipped in kerosene rub the bristles and the inside of the box clean, and

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT
of writing to us about what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
done for you?

"I AM STRONGER AND FEEL FINE."
"I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound because I was tired and

testimonial."

"AFTER BEING MARRIED SIXTEEN YEARS"
"Seven years ago I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and after
being married sixteen years became the mother of a sweet little girl. I
had longed for children all the while and wept many a day and envied
every woman with a child. I was thirty-six years old when my baby was
born. I
