PINKHAM And a True Story of How the Vegetable Compound This remarkable woman, maiden mame was Estes, Lyna, Maas., February 9th, 1519, com- ing “from a good old Quaker family For some years she tanght school, and became known as a woman of an alert was born in and investigating mind, an seeker after knowledge, and all, possessed of a wonderfully thetic nature. In 1843 she married Isaac Pin a builder and real estate op their early married life wus marked by prosparity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned davs was common for mothers to n thelr own home medicines from roo snd herbs, nature's own remedies calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases By tradition and ex. perience many of them gained a won earnest above sVmpa- kham is erties of the various roots and herbs Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bountifully provides in the harvest: flalds and orchards vegetable foods of of the fleld there are remedies ex Ils and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure tosearch these ont, and prepare simple and effective medi cines for her own family and friends Chief of these was a rare combina. tion of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses pocu. Har to the female sex, and Lydia BE Pink. ham's friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them, ' All this so far was done freely, with. out money and without price, as a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial erisis struck Lynn. Itslength and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centon nial year dawned it found their prop erty swept away, Some other source of income had to be found, At this point Lydia E. Plakham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world. The three sons and the davchiter, with their mother, combined forces to restore the family fortune argued that the medicine which was 80 good for their woman friends and veighbors was equally good for the ‘hey whi The Pinkhams had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herba were steeped on the stove, gradually filing a gross of bottles, Then came the question of selling it, for always before they had given away freely. They hired a printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medi- | cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's i Vegetable Compound, and these were {distributed by the Pinkham sons in Joston, New York, and Brooklyn | | iis ' 0D 4 The wonderful curative properties of the inedicine were, to a great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used it recommended it to others, and the de- | mand gradually increased, In 1877, by combined efforts the fam- { : i i i i i i ! i ily had saved enough money to com- ence newspaper advertising and from hat time the growth and success of | the enterprise were assured. until {day Lydia E.
