This remarkable 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 as 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 1843 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 efficacious in con
trolling diseases than any combination
of drugs.
Mrs. Pinkham from her youth took a
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
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 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
property swept away

herbs for such of her women neigh
bors and friends who were sick and
ailing. It's success in those cases had
been wonderful-its fame had spread,
and calls were coming from miles
around for this ~efficacious 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 off
some pamphlets setting forth the mer-

and these pamphlets were distributed
by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New
York and Brooklyn. =

the medicine were to a great extent.
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it 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 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 n 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.
p%etuation of her great work was
guarded by her foresight.
During her long and eventful expert
ence she was ever 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-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 tie 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 IL the world.
Another act of foresight on the part
of Lydia f. Pinkham was to see that
some one of her family was trained to
carry on her work. and with hat 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 f. 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 free of
charge.
The record of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made of simple
herbs and roots, is a proud and peer.

conquest w the obstinate ills of
women, greater han that of any other

700 male and female students of How

Kisses, c~at-calls, bowls and groans.
The excitement vas intense, and the
students marched out of chapel to the
campus, where the demonstration was
continued and Prof. Gordon was still
further denounced. The college exer-
cises for the day were abandoned as
the result of the strike. Prof. Gordon's
alleged prejudicial conduct toward
