and Investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of . wonderfully sympa- thetio nature.
 In 1s4S she married Isaac Pinkham, . builder and real estate operator. and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four childrsn, three sons and . daughter.
 In those good old fashioned days 1t was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature's own remedies calling in . physician only in specially urgent eases. By tradition and ex- perienee 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 charactsristios and power over disease. She maintained that just e nature 70 bountifully provides in the harvest fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; %, if we but take the pains of the field there are remedies ex- pressly designed to curo 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 . rare combina- tion of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses poou- liar to the fsmale sex, and lydia B. Pink hams friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured
 and it became quite popular among them.
 All this O far was done freely, with.
 out money and without price, a . labor of love.
 But in 1873 tho financial crisis struck
 Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for tho large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful depression, % when the Csnten- nial year dawned it found their prop erty swept away. Some other source of income had to be found.
 At this point Lydia B. Pinlkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world.

WEST CORNWALL.
AN ATTRACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT

AN ATTRACIlVE E ENIEhIA1NMENI.
 The Cornwall entertainment course presents for it's fourth feature, for Wednesday evening, January g, the Brockaway Jubilee Singers, the lead ing colOred concert company of Ameri- ca, consisting of eight members. The Company has been heard in every large town and city from the Atlantic to the Pacific during the past few years, and has the remarkable record of over 5000 concerts to date, and the verdict that has been passed upon them by the press of America is: 1.-The greatest company of colored artists that has ever appeared before the public." They gave their concert in the Audi torium in Chicago, theater seating l5,0OO people during the past winter. Every seat in the vast hall was taken. They gave "Old Plantation Days," their regular concert. As the curtain rolled up, it showed the company in dresses and suits which might we'll have been worn amid the cotton fields and corn. They sang old melodies and hymns which even to-day may be heard in the South, and sung them with such a pathos that the audience recalled them again and again. She whom they call 1.-The Original Black Patti," sang Away Down Upon the Swanee River," and when she tried to leave the stage she was forced again and again to return for the encore giv- en. The mass of people attending was so great that the line of carriages before the Auditorium stood for one and a half hours later than they were ordered. By special contract, the West Cornwall entertainment manag- CTS are enabled to have the magnifi- cent company appear here. It will prove to be one of the finest concerts ever given anywhere in this section of the country. The Cornwall Enter tainment Course has never given a failure in talent, and this feature will eclipse anything heretofore given. The demands for reserved seats will be large and the out of town people will do we'll to get seats saved at Coch- rane & Sons, either by mail or tele- phone.

restore tho 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 Pinlxhams had no money. and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped on the stove, 4 gradually filling a gross of bottles> Then came the question of selling it. for always before they had given printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medi- cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and these were 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 it recommended it to others, and the de- mand gradually increased.
 In 1877, by combined efforts the fam fly had saved enough money to com unence 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. ! y tons of roots and herbs are used annu- ally in it's 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 a 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 topre- serve 8 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 hundreds of thousands made since. arc available to sick women the world over, and represent . vast collabora-1 -1 tion 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. Pinkham worked her 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 its origins
 tor passed away. For nearly twenty Ave years she has continued it, and
 nothing in the work shows when the
 first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her
 pen, and the present Ars. Pfnkham, now the mother of a large family, took
 1t up. With women assistants, some as
 capable as herself, the present. Mrs. Pinkham continues this great worlk, and probably from the office of no other person have 90 many women been ad-
 vised how to regain health. Sick wo-

 Such is the history of Lydia E. Pink

WARREN.


DROWNED IN LAKE wARAMAUa.
 A sad accident occurred, January II, in the drowning of Howard A. Curtiss, aged B, son of Edward l.. and liar riet Curtis of Lake district. The drowning occurred near the shore of the Hopkins place, known as Schover- ling's dock, where to all appearances the victim expected to fish, as a pail of bait stood on the ice near by. He leaves, besides his father and mother, a wife and two brothers to mourn his untimely demise. The lake has not been considered safe for long any time this winter, as it has been open in places most of the time and many nar- row escapes by different parties have been experienced. But people will get careless. Friends of the bereaved fam fly have the heartfelt sympathy of God comfort them is their wlsh.
 The funeral of Howard A. Curtiss was largely attended from his home to the Warren cemetery, Sunday at l o'clock. The interment took place by the side of his twin brother, Horace R. The pail bearers were Charles F. Ohmen, F. A. Stone, w. F. Schnell, E. Phelps, Henry and Albert Porter. There were many present from out of UO"us 1IlCuO0 dAO 1CIdU1tCO COuluS from Bridgeport, Bethlehem, Corn wall Bridge, Kent, New Milford and Bantam. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, many could only extend their sympathy by phone. There was beautiful wreath from the family, a lovely bouquet of pink and white car nations from MT and Mrs Fl. Bailey, aunt and uncle of the deceased from Cornwall Bridge; a lovely flat bou- quet of begonias from Mrs Berkley Morgan and daughter, aunt and cou- sin, from Kent Hollow. Many thanks and much appreciation is due to Rev MT Ockford of the Marketable church for the beautiful words of comfort and resignation, which he spoke in his bu- rial service. Undertaken H. Thomas of New Milford had charge of the fu- neral arrangements.
