WHO SHE WAS SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF LYDIA E. PINK1AN 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, 1319, com- ing from a good old Quaker family. For some years she taught school, and heeante known as a woman of an alert and investiga(ing mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, awl above all, ]xa.--eesed of a wonderfully sympathetic nature. In 184:3 she married Isaac Pinkham, a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three eons 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 its specially urgent cases. By tradition and experience many of them gained a wonderful knowledge of the curative properties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkhani took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their char- acteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature FO 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 these 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 roots and herbs found best adapted for the euro of the ills and weakneeces peculiar to the female sex, and Lydia E. 1-'inkliani's friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them. All this Fe far was done freely, without money and without price as a labor of love. But in 1373 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkhani family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful de- pression, so when the Centennial year dawned it found their property swept away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. I'inkham'e Vegetable Compound was made known to the world. The three suns 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 Pinkhams had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory 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 lob printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medicine, now called Lydia E. l'inkham's Vegetable Compound, and these were distribute by the I'inkham sons in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self -advertising, for whoever used it re- commended it to others, and the demand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts the family had saved enough money to commence newspaper advertising and from that tune the growth awl success of the enteg- prise were assured, until to -day Lydia E Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound have become household words every- where, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annually in its manufacture. Lydia E. I'inkliant 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 confirm- ing her work as effectively as she could have done it herself. During 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 ease 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, are available to sick 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, tlic present Mrs. Pink- hani. 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 twentytfivo years she has continued it, and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia E. 1'inkhant dropped her pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkhani, now the mother of a largo family, took it up. With woman asistants, some as capable as her- self, the present Mrs. Pinkhani continues this great work, and probably from the office of no other person have so many women been advised how to regain health. Sick women, 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 monument to the noble woman whose name it bears. Zurich J. B.
