AN AWFUL SKIN HuMoR.
Covered Head, Neck and Shoulders
Suffered Agony for Twenty-Five
Years Until Cured by
Cuticura.

For twenty-five years I suffered ag-
ony from a terrible humor, complete
ly covering my head, neck and Shout
ders, discharging matter of such Of
f~ensiveness to sight and smell that I
became an object of dread. I con-
suited the most able doctors far and
near to no avail. Then 1 got Cuti-
cura, and in a surprisingly short time
l was completely cured. For this I
thank Cuticura, and advise all those
suffering from skin humors to get it
and end their misery at once. s. P.

For Once Luck Deserted Her.

Miss Miriam Nicholson, the success.

porter. OF her life as a reporter she
said recently:
II usually had good luck. I was as
signed to good stories, I covered them
well, and therefore I liked the bust
ness. Once, though, a horrible misad-
venture befell me.
II had interviewed a millionaire's
wife, and. as the lady had been very
kind and obliging, I wanted in my ar
ticle to say only such things as would
please her. In one paragraph I put
the sentence:

A BRIEF SKETCH OF HER LIFE
How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and
Now the ..Panic of '73' Caused it to be Offered
" for Public Sale in Drug Stores.
THE STORY READS LIKE A ROMANCE

had SO often made from roots and
herbs for such Of her women neigh
bors and friends who were sick and
ailing. Its success in those cases had
been wonderful-its fame had spread,
and calls were coming from miles
around for this %eflcacious 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
a gross of bottles. Then came the
question of selling it, for always be-
fore they had given it away free.
They hired a job printer to run of
some pamphlets setting forth the mer-
its of the medicine, now called Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and these pamphlets 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 it:
recommended it to others. and the de-.
mand gradually increased. I
In 1877, by combined efforts, the
family had saved enough money to
commence newspaper advertising on a
small scale, and from that time the
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 " methodical in her
work and was careful to preserve 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-receiyed
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-
ton 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 E. Pinkham was to see that
some n Of her family was trained to
carry on her work, and with that end
in view, for years before her death,
had IS her chief assistant her daugh-
%ter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pinkham.
Therefore, under the guidance and
careful training of Lydia E. Pinkham,
and a vast experience of her own,
covering twenty-five years, the present
Mrs. Pinkham is exceptionally well
equipped to advise sick women, which
she is always glad to do frse Of
charge.
The record Of Lydia E. Pinkham'.
Vegetable Compound, made Of simple
herbs and roots, is a proud and peer
less one. 1t is a record of constant
conquest v e the obstinate ills OF
women, greater than that of any other
one medicine of it's kind in the world,
and will yer stand as a monument to
that noble woman whose name it
bears.

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 many years she taught school, and
during her career az a 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 1913 she married isaac Pinkham,
q builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a 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 ~eff1cacious in con-
trolling diseases than any combination
of drugs.
Mrs. Pinl1ham from her youth took a
deep interest in medicine, in botany
the study OF roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power yer dis
ease; she believed that as nature
so bountifully provides food for the
body SO she also provides medicine for
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 ource 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
property swept away.

The Tampa Times explains why
the Fair, as follows:
The award of the first premium at
the state fair to Marion county in the
connection of collective exhibits is
due to several causes, very prominent
among them being the industrial and
commercial character of its very sys-
tematic display. From the mere point
of size and beauty its exhibit i'm the
main building was inferior to several
others But it appealed successfully
to the business instincts of the visi-
tors and judges alike. 1t is the first
county among those making a show,
to undertake a systematic develop
ment of its agricultural resources
along those lines which are recOg-
niZed the county over ais most promo
tive and productive of wealth-farm
products and live stock.
This is in strict accord with the Cos
pei which the Times has been for
years preaching to the people of this
state. We have here the foundation
for the most prosperous common
wealth in the union. the climate. soil.
productions and everything that is
essential to the raising and sale of
those farm articles which have the
widest and most prominent market
Marion county has affirmed and prov
ed this proposition. andl has shown
that there are people of intelligence
engaged in such production with the
most gratifying degree Of success.
Florida has hitherto been relying
too much upon her attractions rather
than her resources. and right here is
difference and distinction which
this paper wishes every reader to pom
der. People do not and cannot live
upon attractions. But upon resources
they not only live, but they accumu-
late surplus wealth and power and
are then able to add as nOn-renUner-
ative features of their lives such at
fractions as taste and means dictate.
Attractions may only be displayed.
but resources can he exploited to
their full eXhauStleSS extent with
such practical results as enrich the
people engaged. Our attractions do
draw to us many people already fixed
Our resources draw to us the larger
number who wish to fix themselves
1t need not be stated that the process
of fixing is wealth creating. diSpen-
sing benefits to everybody. The enjoy
ment of attractions merely distributes
in much smaller proportions and to
much less advantage IL wealth that
has already been accumulated.
Let the whole state emulate the eX-
ample of Marion county. Let it be
remembered that in the possession of
these resources Marion county is not
one whit ahead of the balance of us
only in development and presenta-
ton of what may be made out of
them. Hereafter the horse and COW
and hog and sheep and hen will take
precedence in public esteem of the

terminated yesterday. when the Board
