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 filing gross OF bottles.
Then came the question OF selling
IL, for always before they had given
IL away freely. They hired Job
printer 10 run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits OF the medi-
cine, now called Lydia Il. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the PinlSham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, 20 a great extent,
selfadvertising, for whoever used IL
recommended IL 90 others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
ily had saved enough money 10 COM
mencc newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success Of
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia Il PinISham 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 Il. Pinltham herself did not
live 70 see the great success OF this
work. She passed 20 her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done 1t
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
riencc she was ever mcthodical In her
work and she was always careful topre-
serve a record OF every case that came 20
her attention. The case OF every sick
woman who applied 10 her for advice
and there were thousands-re 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 a vast collabora-
ton OF information regarding tho
treatment OF woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in tho
world.
With Lydia +. PinlSham worked her
daughter I'm law. the present Mrs.
pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hafd-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 Il. and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia T.. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother OF large family, took
Il up With woman assistants. some rs
capable as herself the present Mrs.
Pinltham continues this great work and
probably from the office Of no other
person have SO many women been adj
vised how 20 regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice Is "Yours for Health"
freely given II you only write TO ask
for Il.
Such Is the history Of Lydia T.. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made
from simple roots and herbs the one
great medicine for women's ailments,
and the fitting monument 20 the noble
woman whose name II bears.

Loses Life from BIoOdpOisouing.
Was Better Monday.
John Bergstresser, Of Water
fall, like many other men whose
hands are exposed at this time of
the year, has been troubled for
some time with chapped hands,
or cracks in the skin. Last week,
he had a big crack IN the skin on
the inside of his left hand near
the joint Of the thumb, and on
Thursday assisted IN the butch
ering of his hogs. Ia the after
noon, his thumb began to pain
him, and to swell, turning black
and blue. His suffering became
so intense toward evening that he
sent for DR.. Campbell, who, up.
on arriving at Mr.. Bergstresser' S
home pronounced it bad case of
septicaemia or blood poisoning.
The Doctor, realizing the Sc ious-
ness of the case, exerted every
effort to counteract the effects OF
the poison, and after a hard
struggle extending up to Monday
morning, the patient was consld'
cred out of i'm mediate danger, al
though the arm was swollen to
the elbowand very much darken-
ed.
Persons having any abrasion OF
the skin cannot be too careful IN
keeping the open wound clean
and free from exposure to any
foreign substance that might get
into the blood and cause very
plinful death.
