It was the period when mom gave the kids pumpkin seeds for “ w orm s,” tied an old sock around their necks for sore th ro at and put an “ onion bag” on th eir chests for croup. • • • The age of m edical specialists hadn’t set in. Doctors were general p ractice boys who did everything for $2, win, lose or draw . But $2 could be an ex travagance in those days if the patient was still con scious, and the folks depended a lot on herbs, potions, oils and patent m edicines. As a child we got rubbed with so m any things before the doc tor was called th a t we were lini ment-logged when he got there. . . . Lydia P inkham was for the womenfolks. But we rem em ber it in the advertisem ents and on the labels. It seem ed the only m edicine nobody rubbed or dosed us with. We often won dered about Lydia. T here were songs about her. One ran : Feeling low and w anna feel giddia? Lady, take a slug of Lydia! • • • Lydia Pinkham , the new book re calls, was a Lynn, M ass., gal. beautiful and with a p erfect figure in the hour-glass mode. She was one of the pioneers in the equal- rights-and-votes-for-women c a m- paign. She was a student of m edi cine and for years gave her com pound free. It was not until her husband went broke th a t she de cided to sell it. . . . Her four children peddled it from door to door first, and it didn't bring home the bacon until one son put a $60 ad on the first page of a Boston paper, r rom m ai u rne k j j u h » The Pinkham 's Rem edy becam e one of the g reatest new spaper advertisers in history. And what a believer in advertising Lydia was! • • • Out of $3,800,000 gross for y ears she poured $3,000,000 back into advertising. • • • Jean Burton gives the recipe for the compound, telling how the v a r ious herbs and powders w ere “p e r colated in fine spirits,” giving an 18 per cent alcoholic content to the “ rem edy.” A few shots of the com pound and any woman felt better. • • • They were all fam iliar up around New England in our boyhood. We can still in fancy catch the arom a of Kickapoo Indian Sagwa, Florida Water, Witch Hazel (still going strong from a base a t Essex, Conn.), Porto Rico Bay Rum, Bur- goment, P ay n e's Celery Com pound and Sloane's L inim ent, “ good for m an or b ea st.” • • • All UN r nnATiAÇIMA R U r u iln v Fiction * BY INEZ GERIIARD knew all the tricks.

Her eye chanced to faU on a paragraph, which had been lightly checked with a pencil. She read through it with a rapidly increasing pulse. ‘‘—I rea l ly don’t see anything rom antic in proposing. It is very rom antic to be tic about a definite proposal . . . . the excitem ent is all over. The very essence of rom ance is uncertainty." Vida stoud up, and there was a wild look in her eyes.
