and Investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of q wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1843 she married Isaac Pinlxham.
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked bv
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 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 mains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
OF the held there are remedies ex-
preSsly designed to cure the various
Ills and weaknesses of the BODY. and
1T was her pleasure to search these ont.
and prepare simple and effective medi.
clnes 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.
ALI 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 E. Pinkham,s
vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.

The problem is partially solved by

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
1T, 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 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. Pinlxham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in it's 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-
rlence 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 MISUNDERSTANDING
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. Pinlxham 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"

for it.

OPENING FOR cANNERY.
N. w. Glover Talked With Man Who
Says This is the Point.

Norfolk would make an excellent
location for a canning factory accord
ing to an Iowa Gamer, whom N. w.
Glover, commercial agent for the I'm
ion Pacific met on the train the other
day. The canning factory at Fremont
was being discussed when the Iowa
Gamer took up the question of Nor
folk as a location for a similar effort.
Norfolk should have a canning fac
tory" he said to Mr.. Glover, (which
would can vegetables through the en-
tire season--not for thirty or sixty
days as is the case at Fremont They
could start with peas and string beans
and run through the vegetables of the
season until the last thing in the fall,
when they would finish up with corn
and pumpkins. That would keep the
factory in operation for six months
of the year and keep a large force
of persons employed half the year.
Then think of the truck farming it
would build up in the country sur
rounding Norfolk, Truck farming is
remunerative and employs large num-
bers of persons"
The grade of canned goods which
such a factory would put up would
not be strictly fancy and yet it is the
very kind that is most easily sold.
There is an enormous demand for just
such a grade as would be packed in
Norfolk, and you have a good terri
tory to sell out of without meeting too
fierce competition from other fac
tories"
In regard to railroad rates for such
an industry Mr.. Glover declares that
suitable rates could undoubtedly be
secured of the railroads. He is of the
opinion that the rate from Norfolk to
eastern points would be made only a
cent or so higher than out of Freomnt,
where the factory has proven eminent
ly successful. To the westward the
rate would give Norfolk slight ad
vantage, and there is large trade in
western Nebraska, the Dakotas, and
Wyoming, which is well worth going
after. In fact there are vast ranges
of country west of Norfolk where prac-
tically everything they eat comes out
of cans. This trade should be han
died by Norfolk factory with the
proper kind of management.

Who was wounded? Who has been

These are the questions that came
into the minds OF Norfolk people on

A pursuit of the bloody trail led to

the crossing near the scene of the fire
and had received a very severe cash

is being sold at sherff's sale today in
Madison. The trouble began twenty
five years ago when the property, con.
sisting of 240 acres east of Norfolk,
came to Mrs. Florence Papstein
through the death OF her husband.
Shortly afterward, becoming heavily
involved through the signing of notes,
she decided the land to Carl Schultz.
Later she tried to get it back from
him and, after taking 1t through the
courts, managed to have 1t transferred
to Mr.. Teade at Wisner. Soon this
was not satisfactory arrangement,
and, with the help of A. II. Oleson of
Wisner and Attorney Koenigstein OF
Norfolk, the land was decided to A.
r. Oleson. Then she fell out with
Oleson and Koenigstein and secured
NJ. ID. Tyler as counsel. Later she
shifted attorneys again and secured
Harrington and Mullen OF ONeil but
they in turn were succeeded by Attor-
ney Ehrhardt Of Stanton, who is now
her attorney. And during all these
changes Of ownership and attorneys
the land was dragged back and forth
through the courts until there will
probably be but little left for Mrs.
Papstein today after the sale is made
and the membranes are paid off.
