SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF LYDIA E. Ph^
And a True Story of How the Vegetable Com
Had Its Birth and How the “Panic of *73»»
it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Sto^
This remarkable woman, whose
maiden name was Estes, was bora in
Lyun, Mass., February uth, 1810, com
ing from a p<kh! old Quaker family. 1
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 wonderfull3* sympa
thetic nature.
In 1813 she married Isaac Pinkliam j
a builder and real estate operator, and j
their early married life was marked by
prosperity- ami happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
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 remedies—
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tr;idition and ex
perience many of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
erties of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkliam 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 hnrvest
tic'.ls and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if wc but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there arc remedies ex
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the bxly, ami
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi
cines for her ov.n family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina
tion of tlie 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 tins so far wasdone freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
Imt in 18,.i the financial crisis struck
Lynu. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate-interests
of the I’inkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when theCenten
ni.il 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
' "ff’tahle Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to
restore the family f,
argued that the medicine
ko g<»od for their woman
neighbors was equally

for years she assisted her in her vast
