LYDIA E. PINKHAM
A BRIEF SKETCH OF HER LIFE
How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and
How the “Panic of *73” Caused it to be Offered
for Public Sale in Drug Stores.
THE STORY READS LIKE A
ROMANCE
This remarkable woman, whose
maiden name was Estes, was born in
Lynn, Mass., February 9th. 1819, com-
ing from a good old Quaker family.
For many years she taught school, and
during her career aa a teacher she be-
came known as a woman of an alert
and Investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above all,
she waa possessed with a wonderfully
sympathetic nature. # (
In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a daugh-
ter.
In those good old-fashioned days few
drugs were used in medicines; people
relied upon nature's remedies, roots
and herbs, which are to-day recognized
aa more potent and efficacious in con-
trolling diseases than any combination
of drugs.
Mrs. Plnkhsm from her youth took a
deep Interest in medicine, in botany—
the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics, and power over dis-
ease; she believed that ns nature
so bountifully provides food for the
body so she also provides medicine for
tbe ills and weaknesses of tbe body.
In the roots and herbs of the field,
gnd as a wife, mother and sympathetic
friend, she often made use of her
knowledge of roots and herbs in pre-
paring 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 a com-
mon cause, and she set to work to
find a common remedy—not at that
time as a 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. Its 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
property swept away.
At this point the history of Lydia E.
Pinkham a Vegetable Compound com-
mences:
The three suns nnd daughter, with
their mother, combined forces to re-
store the family fortune. They re-
solved to give to the world the vege-
table compound that Mrs. Pinkhitin
had so often made from roots and
herbs for such of her women neigh-
bors and friends who were sick anl
ailing. Its success in these cases had
been wonderful—its fame had spread,
and calls were coming from m.lc3
around for this efficacious vegetable
compound.
They 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 be-
fore they had given it away free.
They hired a job printer to run off
some pamphlets setting forth the mer-
its of the mediciue. 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 we-c-, to a great extent,
self-advertislr.g. for whoever used it
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 Lyd'a 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. Pinkham passed
to her reward some years ago. the per-
petuation of her great work was
guarded by her foresight.
During her long and eventful experi-
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 thousands—received
careful study, and the details. Includ-
ing symptoms, treatment and results,
were recorded for future reference,
and to-day these records, togevher with
thousands made since,.are available to
sick women the world over, and repre-
sent a vast collaboration of informa-
tion regarding the treatment of wom-
an's 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 to
carry on her work, and with that end
In view, for yeara 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-flv# years, tho present
Mrs. Pinkham is exceptionally well
equipped to advise sick women, which
she is always glad to do free of
charge.
The record of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made of simple
herbs and roots, is a proud and peer-
less one. It is a record of constant
conquest over the obstinate ills of
women, greater than that of any other
one medicine of its kind in the world,
and will ever stand as a monument to
that noble woman whoso namo its
hears.
