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 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-
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 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 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 as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve a record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman 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
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 woman 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. ga,

What Others Say.


Other able school men have written
in regard to Mr. Gullions candidacy,
as follows:
Professor j. T. English, Harrods
Creek, KY, widely known teacher:
we need somebody at the head of
the school system who has the knack
of doing things; of getting out of the
time-worn rut. You are unquestion-
ably the man. Your record in school
work proves il"
q. F. Smith, formerly superinten-
dent Of public instruction: Your per
sonal qualifications and your long
training as teacher and county super
intendent we'll fit you for the duties
of state superintendent. Knowing
you so well, have every confidence
that you will faithfully and ably adj
minister the affairs of the office.
Hence, | will heartily give you my
support and wish you complete sue
cess."
Professor c. a. Leonard, superln-
tendent Cynthiana schools: Il hope
you will announce at once and make
a thorough canvass of the state
shall work for you"
Professor w. II. Bartholomew, prin.
cipal Girls High school, Louisville "A
friend of public instruction when the
cause needed friends. Gullion merits
the honor of the superintendency.

College, Lexington; Il say without

Democrats may do the rest
A CARD.
To Whom it May Concern:
Mr.. E. A. Gullion spent a great deal
Of time at Frankfort during the legis-
lative session of 1866, and took an
active interest in school legislation,
being especially DESTROYS of passing
the normal school bill. He has for
number of years been a strong factor
in educational progress.

Frankfort, KY, Sept 81, 1906.
If other proof than that of the lieu
tenant governor, Senator DeHaven,
Representative Bourne and the dis
tinguished superintendent of public
instruction is required it shall be fur
nished Who oppose the state nor
mails? They cannot be found. The
bill creating them passed unanimously
and, as shown above, l did all in my
power to promote it's passage, having
been at Frankfort more than so days
during the 60-day session Of the gen.

potency of both of us before voting.
Not Popularity Contest.
My opponent publishes i'm black type
that his chief clerk would be a clever
and competent gentleman who has
been in the service Of the state for %
years at high salary when on duty
lie makes the alliance at the eleventh
hour to bolster his falling fortunes in
the race. If there is any reason why
this well paid official of 25 years (and
who never has to beg for lucrative
positions) should be preferred over
the young gentleman l have selected
for the place, 1t is not apparent My
appointee will be Mr.. Walter Grady,
