most depressing feature of the modern

either bald, with a decided tendency

wears spectacies, which at the request

WHO SHE WAS
SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF LYDIA E.
PINKHAM
And a True Story of How
the Vegetable Compound
Had Its Birth and How the “Panic of '73’’ Caused
it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores.
This remarkable woman, whose
maiden name was Estes, was born in
Lynn, Mass., February 9th, 1819, com-
ing from a good old Quaker faniily.
an earnest
and above
and investigating mind,
seeker after knowledge,
- all, possessed of a wonderfully sy mpa-
thetic nature.
In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
rosperity and happiness. They had
our children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, nature’s own remedies—
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. By fradition and ex-
perience many of ‘them gained a won-
derful knowledge of the curative prop-
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-
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
ressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
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 pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E.Pink-
ham’s friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far wasdene freely; with- | aad 0 rent Ma

labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Itslengthand severity were too
much for the large real estateinterests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen-
nial year dawned it found their prop-
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkbam’s
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to!
and |
restore the family fortune. They
argued that the gmedicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
neighbors was.equally good for the,
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratery
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were steeped on the stove,
gradually filling a gross of bottles.
-{ Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it" away “freely. They hired a job
printer. to run off some _.pamphlets
setting forth the merits of /the medi-
cine, now called Lydia (E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound; and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising for whoever used i$
recommended it} to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 187%, by combined efforts the fam-
ily had saved enough money to com-
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success of
the enterprise were assured, until! to-
day Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vege-
table ‘Compound have become bons se-
hold words: everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used ‘annu-
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago. but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she bodid have done it
herself. {
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve arecord of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice—
and there were thousands—received
careful study, and the details, includ-
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were ecorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since, are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent a vast collabora-
tion of information regarding the
treatment of woman’s ills, which for
authenticity and aceuracy can hardly
be equaled in amy library in the
world.
With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her
daughter-in-law, the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was ecarefullyinstiucted
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands vaturally fell the
direction of the work when its origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty-
five vears she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia E. Pinkham drepped her

With woman assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mus.

probably from the office of no other
person have so many women been ad-
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice is **Yours for Health”
freely given if you only write to ask
for it. »
Such is the history of Lydia E. Pink-
ham’'s Vegetable Compound; made
from simple roots and herbs; the one
{ great medicine for women's ailments,
and the fitting monuma®at to the noble
woman whose name it bears.
