In 1919 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
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 ard ex-
perience many of them gained Won
derful knowledge of the curative prpo-
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that Just as nature so
beautifully 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

BROKE BLA,NE's BOOM.

Ex-Governor Newell's Medical Opinion
Turned Jersey Delegates.
Friends of the late William A. New.
ell. once Governor of New Jersey. have
recalled an old story in which he fig
ures as the rock upon which the Pres
idential hopes of James G. Blaine
were wrecked in 1876. The ex-Gover-
nor. who was physician as well as
politician. was delegate to the Re-
publican national convention in that
year. and lie was prominent among
those members of the New Jersey dele
CATION who favored Mr.. Blaine's nom
ination. While the struggle for the,
various aspirants was in progress. the
news came that Mr.. Blaine had been
stricken with what was variorsly de-
scribed as apoplexy and sunstroke
This event was eagerly seized upon
by the two or three Jersey delegates
who favored Mr.. Conkling, and these,
hearing that Dr. Newell had expressed
fear that the effects of such a
J""stroke" as Mr.. Blaine had suffered
might seriously and permanently affect
his mental faculties. saw an oppor-
tunity, as they thought. to help their
candidate. They secured a conference
of the delegation. and. when 1t had
met, they called upon the exc Governor

1T would be prudent to nominate the

with extreme reluctance and regret.
and Of course entirely sincere. was In

diately broken, but their votes ulti-
mately went. not to Mr.. Conkling, but
to Mr.. Hayes. Those who like to as

Then came the question Of selling
it, for always before they had given
1t away freely. They hired job
printer to run of some pamphlets
setting forth theamerits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pindzham SONS IN
Boston, New York and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine were, to great extent,
sclf-advertising, for whoever used It
recommended it to others, and the do.
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 Lidia 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 r. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success Of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago. but not until she had provided
means for continuing her work an
effectively as she could have done Il
herself.
During her long and eventful expo
Renee she was ever methodical In her
work and she was always careful to
preserve a record of every case that
came to her attention. The case Of ev-
cry sick woman that applied to her for
advice-and there were thousands
received careful study, and the details,
including symptoms, treatment and re-
suits. were recorded for future refer
ence, and to-day these records, togeth-
er with hundreds of thousands made
since, are available to sick women the
world over, and represent vast col
laboration of information regarding
the treatment OF women's ills, which
for authenticity and accuracy can
hardly be equaled ia 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 =. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pfnkham,
now the mother of a large family, took
it up. With woman assistants, some a.

DUNE RECOGNIZES LANGDoN.

-N~-~
Iangdon appeared in Judge Dunnes
court and in his capacity as District
Attorney took part in the proceedings
in the case of the people against Saun-
ders. To this there was no protest.
Soon afterward the formal charges of
the acting Mayor were served on Lang
don. These certainly were incidents
varied enough to act as prelude to the
exciting events of the afternoon.
In discussing the legal phases of this
most remarkable situation, lawyers
who are thoroughly informed are in
clined to the opinion that District At
torney Langdon has not taken the most
expeditions and direct course to throw
Ruef out of a position to which he has
not the shadow of a right. 1t is ar
gued that proceeding by injunction de-
termines no right of either party in the
premises and enters only Into the ques-
tion of possession.
On the other hand, a writ of prohi-
bition could be secured to prevent the
Board of Supervisors from taking any
step in its threatened Sction to try the
District Attorney on the charges pre-
ferred by. the acting Mayor. Another
writ, one of review, could be obtained
to destroy what Gallagher has already
done. Both of these writs may be OBJ
tanned from the Superior Court, the
Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court.
Both the writs would enter into the
merits of the case and the decision
would be Immediate and final.
There is still another method to pur-
sue, but existing conditions do not rec
ommend it as advisable. The Attorney
General may grant a writ of quo war
ranto and force one or the other of the
contestants to prove his right to the
position The hearing on this writ
would be before the Superior Court of

midnight In addition to the city Of
ficials who came for conference, there
were officeseekers pressing their
claims upon him.
Ruef brazenly announced that he in
tended to serve as District Attorney
and to give the city the best admins
tration in that capacity it had ever
known. He stated that there was not
the slightest chance of his removal. He
would not even admit it as posi-
bility.
THE suspension of Langdon was per-
fectly legal" he said. .and I am the
District Attorney. The case will; of
course, go to the higher courts, and I
am confident that / will be sustained In
the position"
Ruef then proceeded blandly to de-
scribe the far-reaching reforms hepro-
poses to institute.
BOSS WANTS EVIDENCE OF GRAFT.
First of ALL he said. 81 shall issue a
proclamation calling upon all the citf-
zenS of San Francisco who have evil
dence of graft in the administration to
lay it before me. Then | shall appear
before the Superior Judges and ask
them to appoint man to conduct an
investigation into these charges. 1 shall
step aside and allow this. man, whom
the Judges shall select, to make fair
and searching Investigation In case
charges are made against Mayor
Schmitz or myself shall, of course, not
enter the Grand Jury room, but shall in
sist that the charges against me be in
vestigated as in the case of any one
else
He has gone so far that the humor of
such a situation did not appeal to him.
He talked earnestly of these comic
opera plans.
But this is only a small part of the
reform wave with which Ruef threatens
to engulf the city. Since Heney has
crept up so close on his trail Ruef has
clares that he himself has already
gathered evidence of graft which he
intends to investigate. Moreover, he
promises to punish the guilty.
There has been some petty grating
in the city," said the boss. "A case has
| just come to my notice. A person who
claims to have influence with the ad-
ministration went to another party in
this city said that had sent him, and
promised to put a certain measure
| through for $1,000. The money was
paid, but it happens the measure re-
! ferred to had already been put through.
| Naturally, the person who paid the

that he would investigate the trolley

DIR. PERCE's REMEDIES.
Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with
Door circulation, because they have III
treated their stomachs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco-
holic beverages, or by too close contine
ment 10 home, Office or factory, and in
consequence the stomach must be treated
IN a natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
many such people, in fact in every weary,
thin and thin blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty As a result
fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts
long. The demand for nutritive aid is
ahead Of the supply. To insure perfect
health every tissue, bone, nerve and
muscle should take from the blood GER
tain materials and return to it certain
others. 1t is necessary to prepare the
stomach for the work Of taking up from
the food what Is necessary 20 make good,
rich, red blood. We must go to Nature
for the remedy. There were certain
roots known to the Indians of this
country before the advent Of the whites
which later came TO the knowledge Of
the settlers and which are now growing
rapidly In professional favor for the cure
Of obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found to be safe and yet GER
tain in their cleansing and invigorati
effect upon the stomach, liver and blood.
These are: Golden Seal root, Queens
root. Stone root, BloodroOt, Mandrake
root. Then there is Black Cherrybark
The medicinal principles residing IN these
native roots when extracted with glyc-
crime as a solvent make the most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver in
vigorator, when combined in just the
right proportions, as In DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Where there
is bankrupt vitality - s1ch as nervous
exhaustion, bad nutrition and thin
blood. the body acquires vigor and the
nerves. blood and all the tissues feel the
favorable effect of this sovereign remedy.
Although some physicians have been
aware of the high medicinal value of the
above mentioned plants, yet few have
used pure glycerfne as solvent and
usually the doctors prescriptions called
for the ingredients in varying amounts,

The "Golden Medical Discovery" is a
scientific preparation compounded of the
glyceric extracts Of the above mentioned
vegetable ingredients and contains no
alcohol or harmful habit-forming drugs.
