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 as teacher she be-
came known as woman of an alert
and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above all,
she was possessed with wonderfully
sympathetic nature.
In 1843 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 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 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 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 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 Its 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.
At this point the history of Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound COM
mences:
The three sons and daughter, with
their mother, combined forces to re-
store the family fortune. They re-
solved to give to the world the vege.
table compound that Mrs. Pinkham

A BRIEF SKETCH OF HER LIFE
How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and
How 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. 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 filing
a gross of bottles. Then came the
question Of selling it, for always be-
fore they had given it away free.
They hired job printer to run off
some pamphlets setting forth the mer-
it's of the medicine, now called Lydia
E. Pinkhams 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,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts, the
family had saYed 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 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 WOu6u llc WOlI Of0I, dnu lSplC
sent vast collaboration of informa
ton regarding the treatment of WON
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 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. 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
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 a monument to
that noble woman whose name Its

Senator Alqer's Story.

Kansas farmer some years ago. The

through Kansas a prosperous farmer
came into the car and took a seat just
opposite them.

OF the sea.
DR.. B. B. Norland of Wheatley,
Mimi, is said to hold that mosquitoes
bring about marriages, the same mos
quito, in the summer time, biting a
young man and a maid, and thus caus-
ing a transition of blood and a mutual
affection.
Il did say that mosquitoes caused
marriages" admitted Dr. Norland the
facetious one. To take 1t seriously is
a mistake-a ludicrous mistake, like
that which Black, the artist. made.
BLACK lived near here He was a
handsome chap, but poor. He fell in
love with Nancy Lee, rich sea cap
tain's daughter.
And his suit prospered, though he
pressed 1t very timidly. fearing that
rich old Skipper Lee would not care
to see his darling Nancy marry
poverty-stricken artist.
LAS to Nancys mind, there was no
question; she loved Black ardently.
HE sat with her one night in the
parlor, with the light lowered, when
suddenly, from the next room, Capt.
Lees gruff voice shouted:
Lego that painter!
Poor, timid, mistaken Black drew
away from the girl, grabbed his hat,
and darted out into the road; but
Nancy, overtaking him, explained that
her father was talking in his sleep,
and that painter in sea language,
meant only small rope"
