 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 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. Pinkham took 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 l 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,
 
 cines for her own family and friends.
 Chief of these was rare combina- tion 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.

 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- nial 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.
