THE GREAT SECRET

OF womans preservation of her beauty
lies in the intelligent care of the womanly
health. So close is the relation between
the health of the delicate womanly organs
and the health of the whole body, that
whenever the feminine functions are de-
ranged or disturbed the consequences are
felt by every nerve in the body. Severe
headache backache, pain in the side, and
bearing down pains are borne with by so
many thousands of women that one who is
in sound health is rare exception. Most
women would give anything to kno7O how
to be cured. The way is very plain. Fol
low the path made by more than a half
million women who have been perfectly
cured of womanly ills and weakness.

NOTHING IS SURER

Than the effect of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t makes weak women strong,
sick women we'll. 1t regulates the periods,
stops disagreeable drains, heals infiamma-
ton and liberation, and cures female weak
ness. 1t prepares the wife for motherhood,
gives her vigor and physical strength, so
that the birth hour is practically painless.
1t is the best of tonics because Il contains
no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, nor any
other narcotic. For working women in the
home, store or schoolroom II is an invalu-
able medicine. 1t qniets the nerves, in
creases the appetite, and causes restful
and refreshing sleep. Nursing mothers

The following is an old Vir-
ginia receipt for cnring hams,
and IS worth the trial: After
cutting out and sailing hams,
then lay in salt "a hours. Take
out of salt, shake well. To
every one hundred pounds Of
meat use five quarts of salt, one
quart of syrup, four ounces salt
peter, 2 ounces soda. two or
three pounds brown sugar. Rub
each ham we'll, put in a clean
syrup barrel, a layer of the above
mixture, then a layer Of meat,
alternately-the last layer being
the mixture. Cover well and
allow to stand from four TO six
weeks, according to the weather.
Then hang up and smoke with
hardwood until dry. Dip each
ham in boiling water hot with
red pepper and borax. Wrap
the hams in brown paper sew up
in cloth tightly. then whitewash
with coppera.s added to the lime
water. This receipr will make
your hams sell for Is cents a
pound where your neighbor only
gets nine cents. Northwest tern
