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 5ale in Drug Stores.
This remarkable woman, who#®
maiilrn tiam® won Kate*. win horn in
L.vnn, Mu**., February Pth, 181S), coin*
lnN from t good 1 (Juakr-r futility.
For aotuc yearn kite taught achool, nutl
became Uuown an u woman of an alert
and investigating mind, an earnest
aeelcer after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1843 she married Isaac Plnkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons und a
daughter.
In those pood old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to mnkc
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, nature's own remedies—
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 the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a grent interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully 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 tiie field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines 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 ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink-
ham's friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with-
out money and without price, as a
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 the Centen-
nial year dawned it found their prop-
erty swept away. Some other source
of income 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
restore th® family fortun®. They
argued that the medicine which wna
mi good fur their wmiiun friends and
neighbor* waa equally good for tit®
women uf the whole world.
I'll® Pinkham* had no money, and
little credit. Their iir»t lalioratory
wan the kitchen, where root* and
herbs were steeped cm the atove,
gradually filling a groan of bottle*.
Then uame the question of aclling
it, for always lie fore they had giveu
It away freely. They hired a Job
printer to run off some pamphlet*
suiting forth the merit* of the medi-
cine, now called l.ydla E. Pinkham'*
Vegetable Compound, and tlies« were
distributed by the Pinkham son* iu
Boston, Now 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 do*
maud 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 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 ever 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 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 wascarefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell th®
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 os
capable as 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-
ham’s 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.

EDWARD FLOWER KILLED.
Ho Willi Ills Brother Tom Were
Chasing Itev. Sanders Out of
Town.
Ferris, I. T.—Four men had an al-
tercation with Rev. Sanders and his
thre’o sons in a store here and pro-
ceeded to run them out of town. Tom
and Ed Flower were following the
minister, who was unarmed, and
shooting at him. Rev. Sanders met
a man with a gnn and forcibly took
it from him, then fired on his pur-
suers. Several shots were exchang-
ed and Ed Flowers fell to the ground
dead.
The general supposition is that Ed
Flower was shot by his brother Tom,
who was in the rear of Ed. As Ed
was sot in the back this theory
seems very plausible.
Tom Flower escaped and cannot
be found. At the hearing before
Commissioner Rawls at Atoka, Rev.
Sanders was bound over in the sum
of $500.
Rev. Sanders has an excellent
reputation and public sentiment is in
his favor. Flower is said to have
been of a meddlesome disposition.

If a man eats fwo pounds daily, near two pounds daily must in some way pass from
his body, or disease and a premature death is a speedy and inevitable result. The
food that is eaten must contain the elements necessary to supply nutriment to the
system and free from all substances that bind the bowels.

High Class Druggists
AND — 0THER5.
The better class of druggists, everywhere, ar men of scientific attainments and high integrity,
who devote their lives to the welfare of their f 1 ovi men in supplying the best of remedies and
purest medicinal agents of known value, in iccc dance with physicians’ prescriptions and
scientific formula. Druggists of the better c' sb manufacture many excellent remedies, but
always under original or officinal names and aey never sell false brands, or imitation medicines.
They are tho men to deal with when in nee< of anything in their line, which usually includes
all standard remedies and corresponding a uncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and
best of toilet articles and preparations and uany useful accessories and remedial appliances.
The earning of a fair living, with the satisiaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits
conferred upon their patron3 and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest
reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of
Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they
are selling many 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 the full
name of tho Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package.
They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and
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 effects aa
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 gives and th®
immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there aro
individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles
of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate
to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations
sometimes have tho 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 Bell 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 Syrup,” 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 so unfortunate as to enter his
establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and
and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of
physicians’ prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness.
Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand
for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every-
where, in original packages onlv, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions
exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return
any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company—
California Fig Syrup 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 in his line at reasonable prices.
