NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor--Hals
Began to Fall Out-Wonderfu Re-
suit from Cuticura Remedies.

about the latter part OF July my
whole body began to itch. i did not
take much notice of it at FIRST, but 10
began to get worse all the time, and
then / began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds Of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum.
ors; but became worse all the time.
My hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as ! would get
in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my Anger
nails would keep 1t irritated, and IL
was not long before could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and
did, and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks I would take a hot bath every
night and then apply the Cuticura
Ointment to my whole body; and /
kept getting better, and by the time
I used four boxes of Cuticura was
entirely cured, and my hair stepped

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a 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 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 a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
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
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.
ton 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 toe
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.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to

eaving the hotel, and Mrs. Drelmer in
The awninged shade at the stern of the

The others had gone below, where
PercaVal was allotting staterooms, and
hrging every one to "order whatever
soid stuff you like and get into as few
hings as the law allows. For my part,
"a like to wear nothing but a cold
oath"
Mrs. Drelmer suddenly betrayed signs
Of excitement. She sat up straight in
the wicker deck chair, glanced down a
column of her newspaper, and then
looked up.

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 a gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired q 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 grease extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used IL
recommended it to others, and the de.
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 Lydia Z. 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 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 az
effectively as she could have done II
| herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rieuce she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
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 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
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 vast collabora-
ton of information regarding tina
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
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 1t, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia e. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work, and
probably from the Office of no other
person have SO many women been ad-
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice is "Yours 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.

CHAPTER XVIII.
A SENSATIONAL TURN IN THE MIL

A SENSATIONAL TURN IN THE MIL
BREY FORTUNES.
1t was a morning early in Novem-
Der. In the sedate Milbrey dining-room
brisk wood fire dulled the edge of the
first autumn chill. At the breakfast
table, comfortably near the hearth, sat
Horace Milbrey. With pointed spoon
he had daintily scooped the golden
pulp from a Florida orange, touched
the tips of his slender white fingers to
the surface of the water In the bowl,
and was now glancing leisurely at the
headlines of his paper, while his break
fast appetite gained agreeable zest
from the acid fruit.
On the second page Of the paper the
names in a brief item arrested his err
rant glance. 1t disclosed that Mr.. Per-
cival Bines had left New York the day
before with a party Of guests on his
special car, to shoot quail in North
Clrolina. Mr.. Milbrey glanced at the
two shells of the orange which the
butler was then removing.
What hopeless brute that fellow
was!" he reflected. He was recalling
4 diCtum once pronounced by Mr.
Bines. Oranges should never be eaten
in public" he had said with that lord
ly air Of dogmatism characteristic of
him. "The only right way to eat a
juicy orange is to disrobe, grasp the
fruit firmly in both hands and climb
into q bathtub half full Of water"
The finished epicure shuddered at the
recollection, poignantly, quite as If a
saw were being filed In the next room.
Mrs Mllbrey entered, news of i'm
portance visibly animating her. Her
husband arose mechanically, placed the
chair for her, and resumed his fork In
an ecstasy of concentration.
"You really must talk to Avice," his
wife said.
I Mr. Mtlbrey sighed, deprecatingly.
He could remember no time within five
years when that necessity had not
weighed upon his fathers sense OF duty
like a vast bowlder Of granite. He
turned to welcome the diversion pro-
vided by the rognons sautees which
Jarvis at that moment uncovered be-
