restore the family fortune. They
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 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 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

day Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vepe-

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 eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful topre-
serve 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 q vast collabora-
ton of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, whit .. for
authenticity and accuracy can h.. dly
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 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 e. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of q large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work, and
probably froE. the office of no other
person have so many women been adj
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice is ssYours 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.

New Weapon For Our Navy.

"The high-speed turbine torpedo re-
Gently adopted and now being manu-
featured for the government writes
l.. E. Zeh in the Technical World Mag
azine, gives to the United States
Navy one of the most powerful and
destructive sea weapons in the world.
This new submarine missile, owing to
the terrific pace it can sustain while
in fight through the water, and the
long distance it will travel, is to take
the place of the Whitehead torpedo
formerly in USE"
The superior strategic advantages
of the Bliss Leavitt turbine in naval
warfare over all other types now in
existence, are its surprising speed
and longer range. Four thousand
yards is the extreme distance it will
travel, $500 yards being the guaran-
teed contract range; at 1,200 yards the
speed is SO knots. The turbine has
on excess speed gain of more than %
per cent, while going double the dis
lance of the latest Whitehead, which
has speed of only 20 knots and u
range of 1900 yards. The United
States government has authorized
several millions of dollars to be ex-
pended for the purchase and construc-
ton of 400 torpedoes of this type,
which in the future will be the only
one used in the navy.

HIGH sKYscRAPERs.

Architect Bruce Price once planned
for the New York World hypotheti-
cal skyscraper 1000 stories high. He
demonstrated that there was no limit
to the theoretical height of steel
skeleton construction. But builders
have found several practical limits
which they cannot pass just at pres
ent. These limits are controlled by
the economics of operation. 1t has
been demonstrated that buildings
higher than twenty stories cannot be
operated at maximum percentage OF
profit. This is due chiefly to the
limitations of elevator service. From
twenty to twenty-five stories is the
highest that present elevator con-
trivances are usually relied on for
proper service. Above the twentieth
story, as a rule, secondary battery
OF elevators is needed When there
are only few stories to be served a
small secondary battery has been
found satisfactory. With ten or
more stories for such secondary serv-
ice, however. the extra area needed
for the elevator plant subtracts so
much from the rentable area of the
building that the income is some
times said to fall below the rate
which is returned by smaller build
ings. New inventions may, however,
at any time modify this limitation.
Fire risks are heavier for very tall
buildings because the fire department
is not able to cope with flames on
the upper floors. The construction
becomes more costly on account OF
these factors. Nevertheless, the
immense value of ground space, fire.
proof construction, new elevator de.
vices and the spirit of enterprise are
constantly modifying mere theories
of this sort and no one can predict
the height to which the skyscraper
of the future may safely and profit.

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
. builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and q
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was commtN 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 a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took q 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-
zion 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 be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.

with their mother, combined forces to
