restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
80 good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no n and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on sthe stove,
gradually filing q 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
Vegetable Compound, and these we're
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine were, to q 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 yer 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-
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 f. Pinkham worked he,
daughter : in law. the present Mrs
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hald-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 a.
capable rs herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work, and
probably from the Office of no other
person have SO many women been ad.
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.

At the first warning of catarrh
one should beginning using Hyo
mel. There is no stomach dosing
with this treatment. The medica
ton of it's healing oils and bal
sans is taken in with the air you
breathe so that it reaches the most
remote cells of the nose, throat and
lungs, killing the catarrh germs
wherever present, and soothing
all irritatiOns in the mucous mem
brane.
You run no risk in paying j.
M. Taylor 81 for .Hyomei outfit,
as he gives his personal guaran-
tee that if the remedy does not
afford relief, your money will be
refunded at once. Extra bottles
of Hyomei, if needed, cost but so
cents, making it the most econom-
ical treatment for catarrh as well
as the only one that is sold on

MRS. CURTIS, OPENING.

For a week Mrs. Curtis's store
has been filled with ladies study
ing the fall and winter styles and
deciding the mOmentous question
of something to wear. The store
carries other lines than hats, and
an excellent assortment of rib
bon, fancy work, neck wear, separ-
ate skirts, waists, etc. find their
customers. Among the hats, EN-
pire green and Bordeau red are
the two most admired shades,
sizes are either very large or very
small and are of soft felt shaped
to the individual face, ribbon and
velvet flowers are always used but
wings, birds, natural Ostrich
feathers and blondines are the
most fashionable trimmings and
the new thing this season. OF
course, as for several seasons,
there is nothing either in shapes,
shades or fabrics that is not used.
Among many hats, the following
are selected for %ea.,al- mention
simply to show the general idea
of this seasons hats: One of the
rarest and prettiest hats was a
cut felt rolled closely on one side
and trimmed with shaded blue
green roses and cOque feathers.
Another hat which was particu-
larly pretty was a very handsome
old rose hat of panne velvet, trim
med with a shaded blondine feath-
er, soft ribbon and a beautiful
gold buckle. Another very large
black hat high crown, waving par
adise feathers and heavy ribbon
rosettes. One hat extremely
pretty is a small hat rolled high
in the back, blue velvet crown,
brim covered with white ermine
fur, trimmed with wings, ribbon
and white maline.
