How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and
How the "Panic of ,z3'' 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 we're 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 eficacious 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 on
some pamphlets setting forth the mer-
it's 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 great extent,
seIf-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 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. Pinlham 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 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 housands-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 informal
ton regarding the treatment of wom-
ans ills which, for authenticity and
| accuracy, can hardly be equaled in any
| library in the world.
F.! Another act of foresight on the part
of Lydia e. 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 E. Pinkham.
and a vast experience of her own,
covering twenty-five years, the present
Mrs. Pfnkham is exceptionally we'll
equipped to advise sick women, which
she is always glad to do free of
charge.
The record of Lydia r. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made of simple
herbs and roots, is proud and peer
less one. 1t is a record of constant
conquest over the obstinate ills OF
women, greater than that of any other
one medicine of it's kind in the world,
and will ever stand as monument to
that noble woman whose name it
bears.

A Famous Auueduct.

One of the most imposing architec-
tural relics of western Europe is the
aQueduct of Nismes, in southern
France. After the lapse of sixteen
centuries this colossal monument still
spans the valley, joining hill to hill in
nearly perfect state. The highest
range Of arches carries a small canal
just wide enough for a man to creep
through and still retaining thick
lining of Roman cement. The height
of the structure is 1873 feet and the
length of the highest arcade S72 feet.
Its use was to convey to the city Of
Nismes the water of two springs twen-
ty-flye miles distant.

Slaves at your bidding come and go
Your wayward will they wait;

And hence, l starve in stated
Starve for dream
That ever flies,
Yet dies it not
Though the dreamer diesl
Yet, for that dream, still wearing now

Full oft the unlaureled head would bow
The Lazarus crumb to crave!
