thetic nature.
In 1S43 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 u 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 combine
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pccu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia Il. 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.

PECULIAR CASE is DECIDED.
sigamist's First Wife Gets Half of
Estate and Second Nothing.

Wichita, Kan.-Federal Judge Pol
lock has rendered a decision in an
unusual case that came up from
Comanche county. 1t was the result
of bigamous marriage by James Nc
Laughlin.
Mclaughlin was an old soldier who
deserted his wife in Pennsylvania,
and. coming to Kansas with young
woman named Annie Scott, married
her and lived with her 80 years, raising
eight children. Upon his death the
second wife, who says she knew moth
ing of his previous marriage, applied
for pension, and this led to the dis
covery of wife No. 1.
The court decided that the Penn
sylvania wife was entitled to half the
estate and that McLaughlins children
by his second wife were entitled to
the other half, while the second wife
was entitled to nothing, though it was
largely through her efforts that the
property was accumulated.

New York.-The financing of Bra
zil's coffee valorization plan has been

the money needed-about $20,000,000.
The bankers and merchants are 10.

The object of the coffee valorization
plan is to maintain coffee at a re-
munerative price to the grower by
establishing n minimum quotation at
which it is to be upheld by purchases
of coffee on account of the three
states of Brazil-Sao Paulo, Rio and
Minas. Interest on the loans made
is guaranteed and paid by a tax on
every bag of coffee shipped.
The three contracting states bind
themselves to maintain in the native
markets minimum price of 80 to 35
milreis per bag of GO kilos for the first
year. This price is to be gradually
raised after the first year to a maxi
mum Of 40 milreis.

returned here after an ascent of the
Colima Volcano, the only continuous
ly active volcano in North America.
The party includes w. Harvey Weed,
of Washington, ID. c. The Washing

volcano, $4,000 feet above the level of
the sea.
In the last 100 years not more than
six men have succeeded in reaching
Colima's crater. On account of the

and the thick covering of sand and
ashes the ascent of Colima is regard
ed as one of the most dangerous in
the world. The deadly gases that
issue from the crater and the posi-
bility Of a violent eruption at any
time make the ascent doubly perilous.
The last man to attempt to reach
the crater was DR.. Peter II. Goldsmith,
of Harvard university. He failed, and
announced that 1t was practically i'm

Chicago.--Leo Gcssncr Creel, the 10.

The dedication took place at St

a future champion of the cause.
Creel and his Wife both expressed
their desire that the boy shall become
an unselfish man. giving his life to
others. They declared that in their
opinion organized labor was the cause
which realized the best ideals of help
to humanity.
The dedicating of the child, they
said, was merely the expression of
desire which all true mothers and
fathers must feel in regard to their
children. The idea came to Creel be-
cause of his many years connection

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,

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 q 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

that time the growth and success Of
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia e Pinkham and her Vege-

tons of roots and herbs are used annu-

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 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, 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 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

To her hands naturally fell the
