restore the family fortune. They
 argued that the medicine which was
 so good for their woman friends and
 neigh bors was equally good for the
 women of the whole world The Pinllhams had no money, and | little credit. Their first laboratory
 was the kitchen, where roots and
 herbs were steeped on the stove,
 gradually filling a 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. Pinlzham's
 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 that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until to- day Lydia B. Pinkham 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- rience she was ever methodica1 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 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 a vast collabo tion 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 
 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 as capable as herself, the present Mrs. 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 whose name 1t bears.

city council was held Tuesday night to
hear the preliminary report of Lud-
wig and company, the Atlanta firm of

spect and test the new machinery re-
Gently installed in the city electric
light plant.
The full and detailed report will
be prepared after Mr.. Ludwig's re-
turn to Atlanta and be presented at
the next regular meeting of the coun-
ell.
Enough, however, was shown to
indicate that the tests and examina-
ton were entirely satisfactory and
that We can look forward to an i'm
proved service.
After informal discussion on light
ing questions and the day and night
service the council adjourned at $50
after session of little over an hour.
The members present were: Gates
Ford, Weathers, Owen, Chace, Car
michael and Sage. The mayor, city
attorney, marshal, superintendent
electric light plant and several citi-
zens were also present.
Just why more citizens do not at
tend these meetings where matters of
such importance to themselves are
determined is an ocala mystery. Their
presence would at least indicate to
the members of the council an inter-
est in their gratuitous work for the
