FIGHT COLDS |
by helping nature build up
your cold-fighting resistance
Ir you suffer one cold
right after another,
here's sensational news|
Mrs. Elizabeth Vickery
writes: “I used to catch
colds very easily. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery helped to
strengthen me just splen-
didly. I ate betier, had more
starrina, and was troubled
very little with colds.”
This great medicine, formulated by a prac-
ticing RE helps combat colds this way:
(1) It stimulates the appetite. (2) It promotes
flow of gastric juices. Thus you eat more; your
digestion improves; your body gets greater
nourishment which helps nature build up your
cold-fighting resistance,
So successful bas Dr. Pierce's Golden Med-
fcal been that over 30,000,000 bot-
ties have already been used. Proof of its ro-
markable benefits. Get Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery from your druggist toda .

sarily from colds,

Parchment Paper Keeps
Fish in Shape in Pan
Broiled fish is difficult to remove
from the broiler without breaking
just as it is in a frying pan. A piece
of parchment paper cut’ just the
shape of the fish, may be greased
and placed under each slice of fish.
It will not be necessary to turn
the fish, as it will broil ail the way
through. Then the parchment may
be removed upon serving.
Time Saver
Put snap fasteners on cushion tops
instead of sewing openings together.
It will save much time. When soiled,
unclasp the snaps, slip tops off and
