This remarkable woman, whose
maiden name was Estes, was born in
Lynn. Mass, February 9Th, 1919, com
ing from a good old Quaker family.
For may years she taught school, and
during her career as o teacher she be.
came known as a woman of an alert
and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above all,
she was possessed with a wonderfully
sympathetic nature
In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham,
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and daugh-
ter.
In those good old-fashioned days few
drugs were used In medicines; people
relied upon natures remedies, roots
and herbs, which are to-day recognized
as more potent and efficacious in con-
trolling diseases than any combination
Of drugs.
Mrs. Pinkham from her youth took
deep interest in medicine, in botany
the study OF roots and herbs, their
characteristics, and power over dis
ease; she believed that as nature
so bountifully provides food for the

the ills and weaknesses OF the body,
in the roots and herbs of the field,
and as a wife, mother and sympathetic
friend, she often made use OF her
knowledge of roots and herbs in pre-.
pairing medicines for her family and
friends.
Knowing Of SO much suffering among
her sex, after much study and re-
search, Mrs. Pinkham believed that
the diseases of women have a COM
mon cause. and she set to work to
find a common remedy-not at that
time as a source Of profit, but simply
that she might aid the suffering
How her efforts have been rewarded
the women OF the world know to-day.
In 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn It's length and severity was too
much for the large real estate inter
ests OF the Pinkham family as this
class of business suffered most from
this fearful depression. SO when the
Centennial year dawned it found their

had so often made from roots and
herbs for such OF her women neigh
bors and friends who were sick aud
ailing. Its success in those cases had
been wonderful-its fame had spread,
and calls were coming from miles
around for this efiicacious vegetable
compound
They had no money, and little
credit. Their first laboratory was the
kitchen, where roots and herbs were
STEPPED on the stove, gradually filling
gross of bottles Then came the
question Of selling 1t, for always be-
fore they had given It AWAY free.
They hired job printer to run of
some pamphlets setting forth the mer-
its of the medicine, now called Lydia
e. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound,
and these pamphlets were distributed
by the Pinlfham sons in Boston, New
York and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
selfadvertising, for whoever used Il
recommended 1t to others. and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts, the
family had saved enough money to
commence newspaper advertising on q
small scale, and from that time tho
growth and success OF the enterprise
was assured; until to-day Lydia e.
Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound
have become household words every
where, and thousands OF pounds OF
roots and herbs are used annually in
making this great remedy for woman's
Ills.
Although Lydia e. Pinkham passed
to her reward some years ago, the per
petuation Of her great work was
guarded by her foresight
During her long and eventful expert
ence she was ever methodicaI in her
work and was careful to preserve a
record of every case that cane to her
attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
land there were thousands-received
careful study, and the details, includ-
ing symptoms. treatment and results,
were recorded for future reference,
and to-day these records, together with
thousands made since, are available to
sick women the world over. and repre-
sent a vast collaboration OF informa-
tion regarding the treatment of wom-
ans Ills which, for authenticity and
accuracy, can hardly be equaled in any
library In the world
Another act of foresight on the part
OF Lydia p. Pinkham was to see that
some one OF her family was trained to
carry on her work, and with that end
in view, for years before her death,
had as her chief assistant her daugh-
ter-in-law, the present Mrs Pinkham.
Therefore, under the guidance and
careful training Of lydia o. Pinkham,
and a vast experience of her own,
covering twenty-five years. the present
Mrs PinBham is exceptionally well
equipped TO advise sick women which
she is always glad to do free Of
