Juliet was the ideal age, about four
teen. She wore a red coat that just
came down to her boot tops and she
had on a big black hat that partly
Swallowed her strikingly pretty face.
She had just come out of Sunday
school with a companion who was too
young to figure as the nurse, by COM
parison, yet was old enough to sympa

raging in Juliet's heart.
Side by side the two girls walled
slowly up the cross street and then,
as If they were measuring their steps.
they turned about and returned to the
corner. When they reached point
where Juliet could see a young man
who was standing half way down the
block talking to group of his friends,
she cast demure glance i'll his direc-
tion-but quite as though she were
looking miles beyond him-and then
turned about and retraced her steps
up the side street. Slowly she walked
up and slowly she walked back again.
just as she reached the corner-it
was beautifully timed-RomeO crossed
her path. Romeo was at the stage in
his youth when he probably would re-
fer to the maid as "a little girl, !"
though she was almost up to his Shout
der. He was undeniably good look
ing, and he was also courteous, for he
bowed to the two girls and took off his
hat with a sweep as he met them.
But he went on his way. leaving Juliet
standing on the corner with an costa
tic glow in her eyes and one hand
pressed to her coat over her heart

neighbors was equally good for the

little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on the stove,
gradually filing a gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given

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

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. PiE,5ham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward wears
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 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 cola bora
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.

In all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast

to find them, in the roots and herbs
