This remarkable woman, whose
maiden lame was Estes, was born in
Lynn, Mass, February 9th, 1919, COM
ing from a good old Quaker family.
For many years she taught school. and
during her career as a teacher she be-
came known as a woman OF an alert
and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above all,
she was possessed with a wonderfully
sympathetic nature.
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 ard a daugh-
ter.
In those good old-fashioned days few.
drugs were used in medicines; people
relied upon natures remedies, roots
and herbs, which are to-day recognized
as more potent and efficacious in con-
trolling diseases than any combination
of drugs.
Mrs. Pinkham from her youth tool a
deep interest In medicine, in botany
the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics, and power over dis
ease; she believed that as nature
so bountifully provides food for the
body so she also provides medicine for
the ills and weaknesses of the body,
In the roots and herbs of the field,
and as a wife, mother and sympathetic
friend, she often made use Of her
knowledge of roots and herbs in pre-.
pairing medicines for her family and
friends.

the diseases of women have a com
non cause, and she set to work to
find a common r~emedy-not at that
time as a source of profit, but simply
that she might aid the suffering.
How her efforts have been rewarded
the women of the world know to-day.
In 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity was too
much for the large real estate inter.
ests of the Pinkham family, as this
class Of business suffered most from
this fearful depression, so when the
Centennial year dawned it found their
property swept away.

An article of historic interest is
the first communion cup used by the
Avon (Massachusetts) Baptist society,
which recently celebrated it's 125th

The cup is now in the custody of
Deacon w. Elmer Crane of Avon. 1t
is of pewter, and holds about half a
pint. Originally there we're two cups
presented to the society, but there is
no record of the present location of
the companion cup.
The society was organized in 1884,

THE STORY READS LIKE A ROMANCE

had so often made from roots and
herbs for such of her women neigh
bors and friends who were sick and
ailing. Its success in those cases had
been wonderful-its fame had spread,
and calls were coming from miles
around for this e~fficacious vegetable
compound.
They 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 be-
fore they had given 1t away free.
They hired a Job printer to run of
some pamphlets setting forth the mer-
its Of the medicine, now called Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
and these pamphlets 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
family had saved enough money to
commence newspaper advertising On a
small scale. and from that time the
growth and success of the enterprise
was assured, until to-day Lydia e.
Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound
have become household words every.
where, and thousands OF pounds of
roots and herbs are used annually in
making this great remedy for woman's
ills.
Although Lydia Z. Pinkham passed

petuation OF her great work was
guarded by her foresight.
During her long and ~eventful expert
ence she was ever m~ethodical in her
work and was careful to preserve a
record OF every case that came to her
attention. The case of every sick
m 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
thousands made since, are available to
sick women the world over, and repre-
sent a vast collaboration Of informa-
ton regarding the treatment OF wom-
ans ills which, for authenticity and
accuracy, can hardly be equaled in any
library in the world.
Another act of foresight on the part
OF Lydia E. Pinkham was to see that
some n of her family was trained to

In view, for years before her death,

A TEXAS CAMPAIGN HAT

There can be seen in the Cove
nors Office a fine specimen OF an old
fashioned Texas beaver nat Whlch
dates back to the stirring times OF
the Alamo days. This hat is genuine
rough beaver and is quite heavy and
formidable. Nearly han century
asI these hats were very popular in
Fevss and in fact no gentleman OF
that seett::,.n with the slightest preten-
sions to style Or responsibility ever
appe"red It .,'nlic functions dressed
in any other headgear. Now they are
entirely obsolete and only exhibited
in museums as curios and remind
ers OF the days that are gone.
The governor has resurrected one
of those ancient tiles and will cam
naign through the state with it.
Wherever you see that brown beaver
hat in a crowd you will know for
certain that Governor John Sparks,
the present and the next governor IS
under it.
It will be the banner that carries
the entire ticket to victory.
