A Valuable Agent.

The glycerine employed in Dr. Perce's
medicines greatly enhances the medi-
cinal properties which it extracts and
holds in solution much better than alco-
hol would. 1t also possesses medicinal
properties of it's own, being a valuable
ferment It adds greatly. to the efficacy
OF the Black Cherry bark, Golden Seal
root, Stone root and Queens root con-
tanned in "Golden Medical Discovery in
subduing chronic, or lingering coughs,
bronchial, throat and lung affections,
for all OF which these agents are recon-
mended by standard medical authorities.
IN all cases where there is a wasting
away OF flesh, loss of appetite, with
weak stomach, as in the EARLY stages of
consumption, there can be no doubt that
glycerine acts as valuable nutritive and
aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root,
Queens root and Black Cherrybark in
promoting digestion and building up the
flesh and strength, controlling the cough
and bringing about q healthy condition
OF the whole system. OF course, it must
not be expected to work miracles. It will
not cure consumption except in it's earlier
stages. It will curesYery severe, obstin-
ate, chronic coughs bronchial and laryn-
geal troubles, and chronic sore throat
with hoarseness: In acute coughs it is
not so effective. It is in the lingering

marvellous cures. Send for and read the

This remarkable woman, whose
maiden name was Estes, was born in
Lynn, Mass, February 9th, 1919, CON-
ing from a good old Quaker family.
For many years she taught school, and
during her career as a teacher she be-
came known as woman of an alert
and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above all,
she was possessed with wonderfully
sympathetic nature.
In 1843 she married Isaac Pinlzham,
builder and real estate operator and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and daugh-
ter.
In those good old-fashioned days few
drugs were used in medicines; people
relied upon natures remedies, roots
and herbs, which are to-day recognized
as more potent and efficacious in con-
trolling diseases than any combination
Of drugs.
Mrs. Pinkham from her youth took
deep interest in medicine, in botany

characteristics and power over dis
ease; she believed that as nature

and as a wife, mother and sympathetic
friend, she often made use of her

pairing medicines for her family and
friends.
knowing of so much suffering among
her sex, after much study and re-
search, Mrs. Pinkham believed that
the diseases of women have COM

find common remedy-not at that
time as source Of profit, but simply
that she might aid the suffering
How her efforts have been rewarded
the women Of the world know to-day.
In 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. It's length and severity was too
much for the large real estate inter-
ests of the Pinkham family. as this
class of business suffered most from
this fearful depression. so when the
Centennial year daWned it found their

Rabbits and Soy Beans.


Rabbits are very fond of soy beans,
and where these are planted in small
quantities the rabbits will, if abund-
ant, eat them, as fast as they come
up. One Illinois farmer has had a
great deal of trouble with rabbits in
his 49, bean, field. He has an orchard
of many kinds Of trees and a large
grapery, yet. these: have never been
disturbed by the rabbits. These ami
mails are very abundant in the neigh
boring wood, so much SO. that when
this farmer wants rabbit pie, all he
has to do is to go out onto the neigh
boring pasture with a good gun. Last
year the ravages in his soy bean patch
we're very great. q The remarkable
thing about twas that the: rabbits
seemed to clean up q row as they
went along They would destroy ali

A BRIEF SKETCH OF HER LIFE
How the Vegetable Compound Hsd Its Birth ard
How the "Panic of '73" Caused it to be Offered
for Public Sale in Drug Stores.
THE STORY READS LIKE A ROMANCE

had so often made from roots ard
herbs for such Of her women neigh
bors and friends who were sick and
ailing. It's success in those cases had
been wonderful-its fame had spread,
and calls were coming from miles
around for this efficacious vegetable
compound.
They 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 it, for always be:
fore they had given it away free.
They hired a Job printer to run Off
some pamphlets setting forth the mer-
it's of the medicine, now called Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and these pamphlets 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 1t
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts, the
family had saved enough money to
commence newspaper advertising on a
small scale, and from that time the
growth and success Of the enterprise
was assured, until to-day Lydia E.
Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound
have become household words every
where, and thousands of pounds OF
roots and herbs are used annually in
making this great remedy for woman's
ills.
Although Lydia E. Pinlham passed
to her reward some years ago, the per
petuation of her great work was
guarded by her foresight.
During her long and eventful expert
ence she was ever methodical in her
work and was careful to preserve "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 received
careful study, and the details, includ
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference
and to-day these records, together with
thousands made since, are available tC
sick women the world over, and repre-
sent a vast collaboration of informa
ton regarding the treatment of won
ans ills which, for authenticity and
accuracy, can hardly be equaled in any
library in the world.
Another act of foresight on the part
Of Lydia E. Pinkham was to see that
some one of her family was trained tc
carry on her work, and with that enc
in view, for years before her death
had as her chief assistant her daugh
ter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pinkham
Therefore, Under the guidance and
careful training of Lydia E. Pinkham
and a vast experience Of her own
covering twenty-five years, the present
Mrs. Pinkham is exceptionally vel
| equipped to advise sick women, which
she is always glad to do free O.
charge.
The record of Lydia e. Pinkham'.
Vegetable Compound, made of simple
herbs and roots, is a proud and peer
less one. It is record of constan
conquest over the obstinate ills O
women, greater than that of any othe
one medicine of it's kind in the world
| and will ever stand as a monument tt
that noble woman whose name
bears.
