and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, ard above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkham,
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 a 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
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a 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. Its 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.
The three sons and the daughter.

Paint, in certain sense, is minor
matter, yet it gives beauty, healthful-
ness and durability to our dwellings.
Fifty years ago painting was serious
proposition, a luxury for the owners
of stately mansions who could afford
the expense of frequent renewals. To
day ready mixed paint is so cheap, so
good, and so universal that no house
owner has an excuse for not keeping
his property well painted.
A small thing, indeed; yet several
hundred large factories, employing
thousands of chemists and skilled
workmen, are running every day in
the year to keep our houses fresh
clean and wholesome.

Not What He Was Used To.


Ever since John D. Rockefeller be-
came an honorary member of the
American Press Humorists' associa-
ton stories more or less apocryphal
have been afioat regarding him. 1t is
beginning to be suspected that some
Of them have been invented by his
fellow humorists. One of the latest
refers to an occasion last summer
when he entertained a lot of slum
children at his stock farm near Cleve-
land. Mr.. Rockefeller gave each Of
them, among other things, some milk
to drink, part of 1t at least being the
product of a $4,000 prize COW. How
do you like it?" he asked when they
had finished. Gee, it's fine!" re-
sponded one little fellow, who added
after thoughtful pause: Il wisht

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 Pinlshams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were .steeped 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-
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkhan's
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York. and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
| the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used IL
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand 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-
|
hold words everywhere, and many
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 IL
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 were thousands-received
careful study. and the details, incdud-
. 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 vast co1labora-
ton of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia e. PinlSham worked hes
daughter in law, 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. Pinlsham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkbam,
now the mother of a large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some az
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work and
probably from the Office of no other
person have SO many women been ad.
