Descripci�n

This booklet combines money saving tips with advertisements (targeted towards women) for patent medicines sold by the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Company. The remedies include a vaginal douche, laxatives, and �Lydia E. Pinkham�s Vegetable Compound,� a popular cure-all for women that was supposedly able to regulate mood, improve sleep, and cure physical discomforts relating to menstruation, menopause, pregnancy, and childbirth. The booklet includes many testimonials by grateful women who used the remedy. One such testimonial reads, �All my life I have felt tired and run down. Housework was a burden. But Lydia E. Pinkham�s Vegetable Compound has chased that feeling away�My color is good. I sleep well and eat well. I recommend this wonderful medicine to any suffering woman� (p. 18). 32 pp. 4 x 7 in. Illustrated on nearly every page. Publisher�s pictorial paper wrappers printed in black and orange. Some toning. Uniform toning due to paper quality. A very good copy of a scarce and fragile item. First edition Lydia Estes Pinkham (1819 � 1883) was an inventor and patent medicine distributor made famous by creating and selling Lydia E. Pinkham�s Vegetable Compound, one of the most popular patent medicines of the late nineteenth century. The remedy utilized five herbal ingredients traditionally used to treat menstrual issues, plus alcohol. She managed a large business to distribute the compound along with other remedies and publications like Lydia E. Pinkham�s Private Text Book, a sexual health manual for women. The tonic was so popular that it was eventually memorialized in a drinking song known as �The Ballad of Lydia Pinkham� and, later, �Lily the Pink.� Pinkham was also a lifelong supporter of abolition and women�s rights. She had grown up in a family of abolitionists in Lynn, Massachusetts who counted Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison among their friends, OCLC records nine copies, only six in the United States.
