WORTHLESS SCHEME
OF ADVERTISING
Promoters of Proclamation Plan Vic
tinize Local Bus-
ness Men.

A number of Rock Island business
men have found that they were victims
of an advertising humbug of the proc
lamation order recently in connection
with an outside scheme. The promo
tiers of the proposition secured the sub
scriptions by showing the wholesale
and retail merchants what purported
to be the signatures of reliable bust
ness houses. 1t develops that many of
the first signatures for subscriptions
were unauthorized The proposition
was represented as one intended to
boom Rock Island
1t again demonstrates to Rock Island
business men that the way to boom
Rock Island and Rock Island business
houses is to patronize exclusively repu-
table local newspapers, as. indeed, the
of them do, apart from the
fact that some bite at the bait of the
frisky transient once in a while

in an experimental state it is right for
the chance to be taken by those who
have the opportunity. No harm can
be done by refusal to give up hope,
while, on the other hand, even a neg.
ative result brings the consciousness
that no blame can be laid upon lack

the side of hope than of despair.

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully gympa-
thetic nature.
In 1913 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 a
daughter
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and eX-
perience many of them gained won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature SO
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
preSsly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
st was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
lynn. It's length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen-
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
TO the world.
