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 Sate in Drug Stores. 1
' . . .
This remnrcn.blo ] woman , whose
maiden name was Estes , was born in
Lynn , 1\Iass. , February 9th , IBID , com. ;
Ing from a good old Quaker family.
For some 'cars she taught school , and
became known as a woman of an alert
nnd investigating mind , an earnest
13ecIcer after knowledge , nnd above
aU , possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thebe nature.
In 1843 she married Isanc Pinkham ,
a builder and ren.l estn.te operator , and
their cary married Bfe wns ma.rced . by
prosperity and happincss. They had
four children , three sons and a
daughter.
In thoRO good old fashionr.t1 daya it
wa.s . common for mothers to make
their own homo medielncs : from roots
and llerbs , nature's own remedies-
calling in a physician only tn speelaUy
urgent cases. By tradition and ex.
perience many of them gained a wonderful -
derful ] cnowletJge of the curative prop.
ertics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Plnlcham too1c a gTeat interest
in the study of roots amI herbs , their
characteristics aud power over disease.
She maintaincd that just as nature so
bountifuUy provides in the harvest-
fields and orchards vegetahlp foods 01
aU kinds ; so , if wo but tn.O ] the pains
to find them , in the roots and hcrbs
of the field there are l'emedies ex.
pressly designcd to cure the various
Ills and wcn.knesscs 01 the body , and
it wa.s . her pll'asul'e to scarch these out ,
nnd pl'cpare simple and effective mcdi
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief at these was a rare combination -
tion of the choiccst medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesscs pceu.
liar to the female sex , and fydiL E , Pink.
ham's frlonds and uelghbors learned .
that her compound rellcved and cured
anw. it bccame quite popular among
them.
AU this so far wnsdone freely , wlth-
> I1t 1I1one ' and without p1'lce , as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the flnllnelal crisis strnc1c
L 'nn. Its length and so\'c1'lty were too
much for the largo real esta.to . interl'sts
of the Pinkham family , as this class
of busluess sulTered most from
fearful depression , 1 > 0 when the Centen.
nial ; rear dn.wned It found their prop.
erty swept awuy. Some othcr source
01 Income had to be fouud.
At this Int Lydln. E. Plnchnm'/I ]
Veletn. le Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the dn\1R'hter ,
with their mother , combined forces to
restore the family fortune. Thev ' " ,
urgued that the mcdicine which w s 'f
so good for their woman friends and.
neighbors was cqun.lI ' good for the
womell of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had 110 money , and . , : , : )
little credit. ' .rheir first ] n.borator" .
was the kitchcn , where roots and ,
herbs were stceped all the stove ,
graduaUy filJillg [ I , gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selJing
it , for nlwn.J"s belo1'e they had given
it away freoly. 'I'hoy hired 11. job
printer to run off Bome pn.mphlet.'i
setting fOl'th the merits of t.ho mcdi-
cine , nOcaHcd Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vcgetable Compou11d , nnd these wern
distri uted by the Pinkham sons in
Ho ton , New YOl'Ic , and 1.Irooklyn. ,
The wonderIuI cnrative properties of
the mcdicine wcre , to a great extent ,
Bl l 'nd\"erti8in , for whoever used it
rccomn ended It to others , a.nd . the demand -
mand gradually increased.
In 1877 , by eombincd efforts the fum-
ily hlld saved enough money to com-
mcnce newspaper ad vertising nnd from
that time the growth and sueeess of
the enterprise were assured , until.to- '
day Lydi E Pinldmm and hcr Vege. I '
table Compound ha.ve . become house- , I
hold words everywhere , nnd many .
tons of roots and herbs 11.1'0 . used annually - .r .
