SO good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world
The Pinkhams 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 before they had given
it away freely. They hired a job
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 great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.

tons of roots and herbs are used annu-

Lydia e. Pir.kham 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-

her attention. The case of every sick

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 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 her
daughter in law, the present Mrs.

In all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her In her vast

To her hands naturally fell the
direction of the work when its origina-

STILL TRIMS HUSBANDS HAIR.
Aged Millionaire Keeps to the Custom
Of His Poverty Days.

Aged Millionaire Keeps to the Custom
Of His Poverty Days.
In Brooklyn there lives millionaire
we'll along in years, With a wife from
whom also youth has long since fed.
From the old days before wealth
came to them the couple retain one
custom which has passed, as the years
have flown, into sort of sacred rite.
The old lady cuts the old gentleman's
hair. Once year the millionaire
goes to a barber shop and has his
scanty locks trimmed. That sets the
style for the ensuing year. When he
comes home the wife carefully stud
les the cut, and after that it is her
work Of love to reproduce 1t until
another year rolls around and the an
nual visit to the barber takes place.
The old gentleman also shaves him
self.
Economy In the matter of barbering
which was first a matter of stern ne
cessity, Is now the one little thing that
the couple refuse to give up out of the
days of poverty. AS they are a child
less couple, there is nobody to hector
the old man into engaging valet
Really the old man has his hair cut
more often than Is necessary, for
sometimes when the worries of wealth
and social duties are more than or
dinarily oppressive the good wife will
say: Come dear-come up to my
room. | want to cut your hair" And
while the scissors snip the old couple
laughingly go back to the old happy
days of youth and struggle once more.
