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 Pinkhams 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
1t, for always before they had given
II away freely. They hired a Job
printer TO run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia Il. 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-advertsing, for whoever used Il
recommended 1t TO others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.

lily had saved enough money 10 com.
