WHO SHE WAS
SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF LYDIA E. PINKHAM
And a True Story of How the Vegetable Compound
Had Its Birth and How the “Panic of ’73’* Caused
It to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores.
This remarkable woman, whose
maiden name was Estes, was born in
Lynn, Mass., February iith, 1811*. com-
ing from a good old Quaker family.
For some years she taught school, and
became known as a woman of an alert
restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for tbs
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herb* were steeped on the stove,
gradually filling a gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkharo
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by-
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it-
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, nature’s own remediei
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a won-
derful knowledge of the curative prop-
erties of fbe various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
In the study of roots ana herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bount£h)ly provides in the harvest-
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them. In the roots and herbs
\ of the field there are remedies ex-
; pressly designed to cure the various
i ills and weaknesses of the body, and
’ it was her pleasure to search t hese out
and prepare simple and effective modi
nines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare- combina-
tion of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ilia and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E.Pink-
hsm'4 friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
ibem.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, aa
i labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
> much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when theCenten-
-nlal year dawned it found their prop-
erty swept away. Some other source
«f mootne had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to
for always before they had given
away freely. They hired a job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkhum’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 a 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-
ily 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 wards 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 os Bhe could have done it
hersdlf.
During,her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve a record #f every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
weman 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
fo-day those records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since, are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent a vast collabora-
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 year.-, sho assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
direction of the work when its 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 woman assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs,
IMmkham continues this great work,and
probably from the office of no other
person have so many women been ad-
vised how to regain health. Kick wo-
men, this advice is “Yours for Health"
freely given If yon only writ* to ask
for it.
Such is the history of Lydia E. Rink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound; made
from simple roots and herbs; the one
great medicine for women's ailments,
and the fittlug monument to the noble
woman whose name it bears.
Washington. Jen. 20.—Representa-
tive Grosvenor, of Ohio, said that the
Hamilton statehood bill would prob-
ably be reported next Tuesday under
the rule shutting out amendments.
There has not yet been a meeting of
the committee on rules, and the state-
hood matter has not been considered.
Gen. Grosvenor’s opinion, however, is
shared by others close to the throne.
Mr. Watson, the "whip” of the house,
named the same date in discussing
the situation.
General Grosvenor confidently pre-
dicts that the Hamilton bill be con-
sidered under the rule and will then
pass the house, according to the
‘‘stalwart’’ program. Mr. Watson
said that the bill would be reported,
and if the Insurgents wanted to take
the responsibility of defeating the
house program and the statehood bill
ft was their affair — indicating less
confidence than his colleague.
Mr. Babcock was indisposed and
was not active at the session, but said
tonight at his house that nothing had
transpired during the day to give his
side the least uneasiness. On the con-
trary, he had received reports which
indicated a steady development of tho
strength of the opposition, and said
the opponents of the Hamilton bill
would certainly defeat It.
A strong instance of White House
coercion was brought to his attention
during the day, which had strength-
ened the spirit of resentment.
He said that some capital had been
made out of the showing of the In-
surgents on the Philippine bill, but
unjustly. They had shown their
strength on the William Alden Smith
amendment, polling over seventy
votes on a proposition that differed
materially from a proposition to vote
down an obnoxious rule, as they in-
tended to do in connection with the
statehood program. The two were
not on the same level. The course
of the insurgents toward the Philip-
pine bill had been clearly decided at
a meeting last Sunday and another on
Monday. The result, he said, could
not possibly afford the stalwarts of
the house any clue as to their strength
on the proposed gag rule.

They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includ^
all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest ana
best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appimncob
The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits
conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their grea
reward for long years of study and many hours of daily tolL They all know that Syrup «
Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore tney
are selling man* millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest
remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing tbc tu‘*
namo of the Company-s-Califomia Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package.
They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation ana
of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or
over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its eaects as
Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction.
Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it g1 Yes and tne
immense demand for it, imitations have been mtfde, tried and condemned, but there are
individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain tho dignity and principles
of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not nesita
to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. »Such preparations
sometimes have the name—“ Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern,
or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of
the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations
should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations
they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes
off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrop, which
does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package,
he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been bo unfortunate as to enter h
establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to m^representation and
arid deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the fining of
physicians’ prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health ™d happiness.
Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand

California Fig Svrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the
article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of
druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything m his line at reasonable prices

St. Petersburg. Jan. 20.—Distrust-
ful of the spirit of his capital and, per-
haps, remembering the accident of
last January, when one of the salut-
ing guns showered grape on the im-
perial chapel, the emperor will not
come to St. Petersburg for the cere-
mony of the blessing of the waters
of the Neva. For the first time since
Empress Anna laid the foundations
of the winter palace in 1732, the great
church festival of the Epiphany will
pass without the presence of the sov-
ereign in his red-wall#d winter resi-
dence. and without his participation
as the head of the church.
A great flagon of the waters of the
Neva will be taken to the palace and
this will be mingled with the contents
of a chalice filled with waters from
the sacred river Jordan. The colors
of all the guard regiments, escorted
by small detachments, have already
been taken to Tsurkoe-Selo, and these
will be blessed and sprinkled with
consecrated water.
The ceremony, which is an adapta-
tion by the church of an old pagan
rite, will take place in every village
and hamlet in the empire, it is still
regarded in many parts of the coun-
try as a i^pans of exercising demands
anil other evil spirits, who are sup-
posed to be forced to plunge through
a hole cut in the ice. into the frigid
waters of rivers and lakes, where they
are sealed up tiv the crucifix and the
prayers of the priests until the com-
ing of spring.

Victim of Golphobia.
A parallel has been found for the
young curate who said: “Here end-
eth the first innings.” An English
clergyman on Saturday was beaten
in a golf tournament by a put on the
last green. TLi9 seems to have prey-
ed op his mind, for on the following
day he gave out his text as follows:
“In the eighth chapter and the thirty-
sixth verse of the Gospel, according
to St. Mark, you will find these words
to be written: ‘For what shall It
profit a man if he shall gain the
whole world and lose the last hole’?”

Tlmy are astonished when their stomach
begin* to trouble them seriously.
They had been eatiug hurriedly and
irregularly for a long time, to be sure,
but they supposed their stomachs quite
used to that.
Some people know that the strength
which the weak stomach needs, uud for
tho lack of which th* whole body is suf-
fering, can be found surely and quickly
in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Iu hun-
dreds of instances these pills have suc-
ceeded where other remedies failed.
“My indigestion,” said Mr. J. H. Mil-
ler, of Daytou, Vn., “came iu the first
place from tho fact that a few years ago
I worked a great deal at night, and ate
at nny odd iiour whenever the chance
came, and always very hurriedly. One
day I found myself a victim of terrible
dyspepsia. It kept me miserable ail the
time l'or several years.
“ I always had’ a great deal of distress
after eating, and when I got up from my
sleep my stomach would lie so weak that
it would hardly take any food. I had
very uncomfortable feelings about my
heart, and was dizzy and, whenever 1
stooped over and then straightened up,
my eyes would be badly blurred.
“ I rend tho statements of several per-
sons who had got rid of obstinate stbm-
ach troubles by using Dr. Williams’
