The Batting Of the sparhawk.

Through the black oblong of the
dungeon doorway there came lad of

tween two men-at-arms. who held his
rists firmly on either side. His hands
were chained together, and from be-
tween them dangled spiked bail that
clanked heavily on the floor as he
stumbled forward rather than walked
into the room. He had black hair
that waved from his forehead in a
backward sweep. a nose of slightly
Roman shape. which. together with
his bold eagles eyes. had obtained
him the name of the Spar or Sparrow

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
SO good for their woman friends and
ncighbors 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 . job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits Of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York. and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine were, to q great extent,
selfadvertising, for whoever used It
recommended it to others, and the Dc.
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 Z. Pinkham and her Vege-
cable 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 q vast collabora-
tion Of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in tho
world.
With Lydia f. Pinkham worked her
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
Eve 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.
Pinllham continues this great work and
