their own home medicines from roots

In the study of roots and herbs, their

it was discovered Saturday morning.

tro-glycerine was carefully squirted
into the cracks of the safe, and moth
ing in the store was taken. Money
was all they seemed to be after, A
little over $50 was reported stolen,
by Mr.. Bland, and he considers him
self lucky that he had shortly before
banked several hundred dollars from

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
SO good for their woman frieads 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 Q gross Of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
1t, 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
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.

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 us
effectively as she could have done IL
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 large family, took
II up. With wonan assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work and
