'& r- This remarkable woman, whose
maiden name was Estes, was born in
Lynn, Mass., February 9th, 1819, com
ing from a good old Quaker family.
JH For some years she taught school, and
became known as a woman of an alert
and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa
fchetlc 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
daughter.
J" In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
"fcnd 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 great 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 the field there are remedies ex-

Is an WOP. Besses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple a^d effective medi
eines 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
i liar to the female sex, and LydiaE 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
i of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
4 The three sons and the daughter,
^With their mother, combined forces to

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams 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 oi bottles.
Then came the question o'f selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired a job
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 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 words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are nsed 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 thousandsreceived
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 was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her yasjL,
correspondence. f^*^Wj
To her hands naturally fell the i
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 women assistants, some as
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" I
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 wh6se name it bears.

Alton so that shipments will be entirely
over the Bock Island for distribution to
all parts of its territory.
The road will be about ninety-five
miles long and will be the link to com
plete a new short coal route to the
northwest.
The coal properties in Williamson and
Franklin counties are said to contain
some of the largest bituminous deposits
in the country. The great Ziegler mine
is in this territory and the Burlington
also has extensive coal properties there.
With a view of reaching this bitumin
ous field the Eastern Illinois was ex
tended from Findlay thru St. Elmo to
Joppa. Salem is south of St. Elmo and
it is possible the new line will extend
from St. Elmo to Pana, from which
point trackage right will be obtained
over the Baltimore & Ohio Southwest
ern.
It is understood the Eeastern Illinois
and the Rock Island, thru associated
coal companies, have recently been in
creasing their holdings of cafl lands
and that an active development policy
will be established. In this connection
it is noted that all the Illinois lines
have in recent years been scrambling for
coal lands in the southern part of the
state and that the New York Central
lines have built new road into south
ern Illinois to develop the coal fields
upon a scale hitherto unknown.

New System of Oar Accounting
Adopted on North-Western.
Special to The Journal.
Chicago, April 9.Twenty-seven
girls have been discharged from the
car service department of the general
offices of the North-Western road at
Chicago, due to the invention of a
method of car accounting by E. E.
Betts, car service agent, by which the
services of typewriters are no longer
needed.
The new system works as follows:
Report blanks are arranged so that
each car number is entered in a space
by itself, a perforation for filing is
made on the left side of each space so
that when these reports are received
in the office theyare placed in order and
so cut with a printer's papercutter that
each number appears on a slip by it
self these slips are then sorted and
distributed to the clerks, who enter
them in the proper books.
The old method required the services
of young women to operate a score or
more of typewriters to transcribe the
conductors' reports on perforated slips
of paper, but it is said the young
women's errors made heavy annual
losses for the company.
MEXICO BOUTE SHORTENED
Yoakum Syndicate Plan- $xoal Things
for Southwe-t.'
Journal Speolrf ftoryice.
Chicago, April 9. Two railroad
transactions "Just completed have ^dis
closed the fact that the B. F. Yoakum
syndicate is planning a great thru short
line between the Great Lakes and the
City of Mexico, and a new system of
roads that will connect with the gulf
#nd- also place territory in touch with
the orient thru the north Pacific ports,
and at the same time draw the products
of the west, northwest and southwest
thru the gulf ports.
Mr. Yoakum's plan has to do with
the development of the great southwest
and is the most comprehensive scheme
of railway construction in vears. Altho
not connected directly wfth the Rock
Island and the Frisco' systems, the two
play an important part, as all of the
lines now constructed and in contempla
tion will connect with both systems.
The project, which was the dream of
Mr. Yoakum in his early Texas days,
is being carried rapidly to fruition. Ir
has cost thus far fully $20,000,000, and
in its fulfilment will cost between $30,-
000.000 and $50,000,000 additional. Of
such vast import is the matter to the
future of the entire west that its prob
able effect may well be compared to
that of the Gould project to secure a
line from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast.
The new Chicago-City of Mexico line
will be at least 600 miles, possibly 800
miles, shorter than the shortest exist
ing route. In fact* there will be two
routes between the Great Lakes and the
City of Mexico, one by way of St. Louis
and New Orleans, Galveston and
Brownsville, and the other by way of
Kansas City, Fort Worth, Brownsville
and the National of Mexieo,
