restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
SO good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for tho
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhafns had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped 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 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 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-.
table Compound have become house
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 it
herself.
During her long and eventfu1 expe-
rience she was ever methodica1 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 cola bora
ton of information regarding the
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 origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of a large family, took
it up. With woman assistants, some as
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-
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 E. 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 1913 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
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. Pinl1ham 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 pscu-
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

DID A WORLD OF GOOD
Or. Williams Pink Pills Cure Hear.
Pains, Dizzy Spells and
Weakness.

Easy to get, hard to get rid of; that is
what most sufferers think of dyspepsia.
They are astonished when their stomach
begins to trouble them seriously.
They had been eating hurried1y and
irregularly for long time, to be sure,
but they supposed their stomachs quite
used to that.
Some people know that the strength
which the weak stomach needs, and for
the lack of which the whole body is suf
fering, can be found surely and quickly
in DIR. Williams Pink Pills. In hun
dreds of instances these pills have sue
ceeded where other remedies failed.
"My indigestion, said Mr.. J. r. Mil
Ter, of Dayton, Va, "came i'll the first
place from the fact that a few years ago
I worked a great deal at night, and ate
at any odd hour whenever the chance
came, and always very hurriedly. One
day found myself q victim of terrible
dyspepsia. 1t kept me miserable all the
time for several years.
81 always had great deal of distress
after eating, and when got up from my
sleep my stomach would be SO weak that
it would hardly take any food. I had
very uncomfortable feelings about my
heart, and was dizzy and, whenever
stopped over and then Strengthened up,
my eyes would be badly blurred.
"I read the statements of several per-
sons who had got rid of obstinate stom-
ach troubles by using DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. I bought some and they
did me a world of good. They acted
promptly and did just what was claimed
for them. I have no more distress af-
ter meals; the bad feeling has gone from
the region of my heart; the alarming
dizzy spells have disappeared, and I am
strong again.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists and by the DIR. Williams

WORDS OF PRAISE WELL MERITED
ny 4 WELL KNOWN ARTICLE.

So much has been written BY the
standard medical authorities, of all the
several schools of practice, in praise
Of the native, or American, medicinal
plants which enter into the COMPOSE
tionof Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, that in attempting to quote
from the various works on Materia
Wedsca one hardly knows where to
commence, since they are so volumip-
GUS that only the briefest and most IL
perfect reference can be presented in 3
short article like this.
Briefly then let US say that the
Golden Medical Discovery was
named from the sturdy little plant
Golden Seal, the root Of which enters
largely into its composition. Besides
this most valuable ingredient, it con-
tains glyceric extracts of Stone root,
Queen g root, Black Cherrybark, Blood
root and Mandrake root,
Finley Ellingwood, NJ. D., an emin-
ent practitioner of Chicago and Profess
sor of Mateyia Medica in the Bennett
Medical College of that city, in his
recently published work on Therapeu-
tics, says of Golden Seal root: vt is
the most natural of stimulants to the
normal functions of digestion. Its in
fuence upon the mucous surfaces rem
ders it most important in catarrhal
gastritis inflammation of stomach) and
gastric (stomach) liberation"
Many other authorities as we'll as Dr.
Ellingwood extol the Hydrastis Golden
Seal), as remedy for catarrhal dis
eases of the nasal passages, stomach,
bronchia, gall ducts, kidneys, intestines
and bladder. Among these, we may
mention Prof. John King, M. D., author
OF the American Dispensatory; Prof.
]. NJ. Scudder, NJ. D., in his & Specific
Medication DR.. Hale of the Hahne-
mann Med. College of Chicago; Grover
Coe, M. D., of New York, in his Or
ganic Medicines" !" DR.. Bartholow of JEFF
ferson Med. College and scores of other
leading medical writer's and teachers.
All the foregoing eminent authorities
extol the curative virtues of Golden
Seal IN cases of stomach, liver and in
testlnal weakness, tOrpor and liberation
OF bowels. DR.. Ellingwood recommends
it most highly, In those cases of atomic
dyspepsia when the entire apparatus,
including the liver, is stagnant and
imperative" He also extols it most
highly in the many weaknesses and de-
rangements peculiar to women and
says, It is most important remedy in
many disorders Of the womb" Golden
Seal root (Hydrastis), is an important
ingredient of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription for weak, nervous, rundown"
women.
But to return to the vGolden Medical
Discovery" it may be said that it's cur
ative properties are not wholly depend
ent upon Golden Seal, valuable as it is,
as other equally potant ingredients add
greatly to its value and in fact are not
less important than the Hydrastis, or
Golden Seal.
In all bronchial, throat, lung and
kindred ailments, Stone root, Black
Cherrybark, Queens root and Blood
root, each plays as important part
in effecting the phenominal cures of
vGolden Medical Discovery" as does
Golden Seal. All these ingredients
have the endorsement of prominent
practitioners Of all schools of medicine
for the cure of diseases of the bronchia,
throat and lungs.

CHAPTER VI.

The murrnur of a restless crowd, the
shufling Of feet, the noise Of jurymen
taking their places. the whispering of
newspaper reporters, the quick tread of
policemen passing to and fro, the rustic
Of lawyers papers, and the banging of
doors ceased; an absolute silence fell
upon all as Olive Dumbarton took the
place assigned to her in the Coroner's
Court. In front Of the unhappy woman,
who was dressed in black and heavily
yelled, sat her solicitor. George Coris.
beside her George Bostock, with Dr..
Quave and his son. Her daughter and
the servants were in an adjoining room,
it being considered desirable, that each
witness should be examined out OF the
hearing Of the others.
After the preliminaries, including the
cali of the roll of jurors. the identifica-
ton Of the deceased. and the statement
regarding the cause of his death given
by DR.. Quave, the coroner addressed the
jury. These proceedings, he said, were
held to inquire truly not only how the
man David Dumbarton came to his
death, but likewise to enable the jury to
decide, II possible, by whom that death
had been caused.
He would lay before them az briefly
and as plainly as possible the statements
Of this case.
