WilO S11E WAS SKETCH OF THE LiFE OF LYDIA E. PINHRAN 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 nth, 1S19, ( m- ing from a good ohl Quaker family. Fur E:omo years she taught school, and 1.r•eame known as a wnrt;an of an alert and inveetigating mind, an earnest ri a•.'ker after kuowledce, an i above all, pi of a wonderfully s. u:ppathetie nature. 1n 18-13 she married li:tua: I'i!I ham, a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three guns and a .lau;;liter. In those good old fa.-hioncal gays 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 ease. By tradition anti experiem-e many of thein gained a wonderful knowledge of the curative properties of the various roots and herbe. • Mrs. Pinkliant took a great interest. in the study of roots and herbs: their char- acteristics and power over disease She maintained that just as nature SO bounti- fully 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 expressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search tilese out, and prepare simple and effec- tive medicines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combination Cf the choicest medicinal routs and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ilia and weaknesses peculiar to the female sex, and India E. I'inkliam's friends anal neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them. All this so far was done freely, without money and without price am a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynr .Its length and severity were too n11 h for the iarge real estate interests of t to Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful de- pression, so when the Centennial year Owned it found their property swept away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. I'inkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world. The three ons and the daughter, with their mother, combined forces to restore the family fortune. They argued that the medicine which was so good for their woman friends and neighbors was equally good for the women of the whole world. The Pinkhau,s had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually' filling a gr'osa of bottles. Then carne 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 medicine, now called Lydia E. 'Inkhorn's Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed I v the l'irikharn sons in Boston, N'ety York, and Itrooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self -advertising, for whoever used it re- e•uara rienthsl it to others, and the demand gra l u it ly increased. In 1877, by combined efforts the family had rayed enough money to commence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enter- prise were assured, until to -day Lydia E. l'inkhaoi and her Vegetable Compound have become household words every- where, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annually in its manufacture. Lydia 1•:. "Inkhorn 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 continu- ing her work as effectively as she could have done it herself. Ituring her long and eventful experi- ence she was ever methodical in her work and she was always careful to pre- serve a record 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, including symptoms, treatment and results were recorded for future reference, and to -day these records, together with hundreds of thousands made since, aro available to Pick women the world over, and repre- sent a vast collaboration of information regarding the treatment. of woman's ills, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equaled in any library in the world. With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her daughter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pink - ham. She was carefully instructed in all her hard-won knowledge, and for years she assisted her in her vast corres- pondence. To her hands naturally fell the direc- tion of the work when its originator passed away. For nearly twenty-five years she has continued it, and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her pen, and tho present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of a large family, took it up. With woman asistants, some as capable as her- self, the present Mrs. Pinkham continues this great work, and probably from the office of no other person have FO many women been advised how to regain health. tick women, this advice is "Yours for llealth'' freely given if you onl} write to ask for it. Such is the history of Lydia E. Pink - ham's Vegetable Compound : made front simple roots and herbs • the one great medicine for w-onren's ailments, and the fitting monument to the noble woman whose name it bears.
