was apparently well received by the
audience.

their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a

In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies

Mrs. Pinlzham 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

all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-

All this so far was done freely, with

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-

of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
