A negro, new from the South, was
employed by moving picture concern
to take the part of the victim in a pic
torial lynching. A spot in the woods
on Long Island was selected as the
scene of the blood-curdhng atrocity.
Everything was moving along splen-
didly and the negro wretch had Just
been suspended from the tree, when

restore the family fortune. They
argued hat the medicine which was
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 TIE 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 r. 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
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
hold words everywhere, and many
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 as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever m~ethodical 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, 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 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 f. 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 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 Z. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
10Y the mother of a large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this greatwork, and
probably from the Office of no other
person have sc many women been ad-
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice is 'Yours for Health"
freely given if you only write to ask
for it..
Such is the history of Lydia f. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made
from simple roots and herbs the one
great medicine for women's ailments,
and the fitting monument to the noble
woman whose name it bears.

and Investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1843 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 a physician only in specially
argent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a 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
1t 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 ne found.
At this point Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.

and healthy there can be no debility.
The relation between the blood and
nervous system is such that the pills
have n very decided action upon the
nerves and they have cured many severe
nervous disorders, such as partial pa

BELIEVES PHELAN is
LOGICAL CANDIDATE
SAYS FORMER MAYOR is MOST
POPULAR DEMOCRAT
State Senator Is of the Opinion His
Choice Would Make Winning Race
If Given a Chance to Run for
Governor

According to Senator Charles M.
Shortridge of San Francisco, James D.
Phelan, former mayor of San Fran
cisco, is the logical candidate for gov
ernor on the Democratic ticket
"Phelan is the most popular Demo-
crat in the state; to my judgment he is
the only one who would stand a chance
of election in case he were nominated -
said Mr.. Shorridge yesterday.
when Phelan was mayor of San
Francisco he made a splendid record
and his work during the San Francisco
disaster was great. He has endeared
himself to every voter in the state by
his action, and his ideas although they
were not carried out were eminently
practicable and sane.
1T seems to me that the Democratic
party could make no greater mistake
than to pass up Phelan in their search
for a candidate for governor Of Cali
fornia."
