and Investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1913 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 a
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 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 ana 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 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 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-
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to
The Miller sun. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 190?-19??, 1906-01-24

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 a job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
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 great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
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 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 Z. 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 as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
Daring her long and eventful expe-
rience 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 we're 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
hundreds of thousands made since. are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent vast collabora-
ton of information regarding the
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 it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia e. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of a 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 adj
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.

GRAND PIANO
The First One to Come into Bot
tineau County.

What is believed to. be the
first grand piano ever brought
into Bottineau county was sold
this week by Emil Johnsgaard
to Mrs. DIR. Johnson, who
bought a new Lester Grand
piano for her home in Bot
tineau.
This is one of the best in
struments manufactured, and
is used by the best musicians
everywhere. The instrument
is endorsed by Prof. Caldwell
as one of the best he ever saw.
Mr.. Johnsgaard has sotd a
large number of Lester pianos
this season, and hopes to close
deals soon for two more of the
Grands before Christmas.
These pianos are made of the
best materials and in the best
manner known to the piano
makers art. They are not to
be compared with some that
are sold with dealers names,
made to sell, but are sold di-
rect from the factory and fully
guaranteed to be everything a
piano should be.

washington, Dec. 3.-The following is
the full text of President Roosevelt's
message to the second session Of the
Fifty ninth congress:
To the Senate and House Of Represen-
tatives: AS a nation we still continue to
enjoy literally unprecedented prosper
ity; and it is probable that only reckless
speculation and disregard of legitimate
business methods on the part of the
business world can materially mar this
prosperity.

campaign expenses of any party. Such
bill has already past one house of con-
gress. Let individuals contribute as they
desire; but let us prohibit in effective
fashion all corporations from making
contributions for any political purpose.
directly or indirectly.
Another bill which has just past one
house of the congress and which is ur-
gently necessary should be enacted into
law is that comforting upon the govern

cases on questions of law. This right
exists IN many or the states; 1t exists In
the District of Columbia by act Of the
congress. 1t is of course not proposed
that in any case verdict for the de-
fendant on the merits should be set
aside. Recently in one district where
the government had indicted certain per-

The Correct Analysis.

Senator Hansbrough has pro-
nounced recent political events
as an indication of Industrial
retrogression." Some bright
genius has diagrammed the
now famous phrase as follows:
Industrial means work, retro
gression means going back.
Thus the senator figures that
political signs portend going
back to work. - Milton Globe.
