restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
SO good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinlhams 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 before they had given
it away freely. They hired job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
CHE, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pizkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-adveftising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
nland gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
lily had saved enough money to COM
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success of
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia E Pinkham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house.

tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve a record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there We're 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
hundreds of thousands made since are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent a vast collabora-
ton of inf nation regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
worlh.-
With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her
daughter in Flaw. the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her 'hard-won knowledge, and
for Years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
direction of the work when it's origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped he-
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of a large family, took
it up. With woman assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs

A romantic story is told of the late
Count of Flanders. Every day he
went for long walk, and always
passed a house where a white hand

whom he had never seen since. Be-
fore parting they arranged that when
in Brussels he should pass her door
once day. and this testimony to an
old love was faithfully carried out.

He has left. an influence for good in

He is not an evangelist; yet probably
no evangelist in. the country today is
doing more than he to strengthen the
churches in the faith of Christ, He
is not preacher; but few men are do
ing as much as he in breaking down
skepticism. He does not pose as a
theologian; yet he is absolutely safe
theologically in the presentation OF
Christian truth. In his lectures there
is not the slightest hint Of anything sec

larger and grander themes that gath

progress of His gospel. 35. N
