- Research Facts
- Pinkham Co. consigned its records to accessible archives, unlike other such companies (after its
- demise); trademark face and "Yours for Health" Archives given to Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger
- Library on the History of Women in America, at Radcliffe College; vegetable compound first
- marketed in 1875, challenging "heroic" medicine (bleeding, etc.) with botanical blends; contained
- true and false unicorn root, pleurisy root, life-root, black cohosh, fenugreek seed and
- 19% alcohol; probably came from one of the major botanical therapy digests ("American Dispensatory"
- by John King); the Panic of 1873 ruined her husband, who had never been secure, so at age
- 56 she went into business; appealed a great deal to women, and they used this (she and her sons);
- Lydia was born in 1819 and died in 1883, but for 20 years after, women were still receiving answers
- to their letters, signed by Lydia (uncovered by a photographer who showed her tombstone in
- "Ladies' Home Journal" in 1904; song ("American Health Quackery", p. 62); she was a folk heroine;
- advertising power of children so great, Lydia's granddaughters began appearing; over the years,
- every ingredient changed ... except the alcohol; after many public attacks on the alcohol content
- they changed the composition and never regained its popularity (in 1904 had 20.6% alcohol); sold
- because of boldly feminist approach; claims varied - increased fertility ("A baby in every bottle")
- - relief from cramps and PMS - ; all sorts of "family" advice given; "Write to Mrs. Pinkham"
- - actually the widow of Lydia Pinkham's son (not quite false, just misleading); still around
- in 1957; mid-1920's, 15% alcohol; 1938 contained gentian, black cohosh, true and false unicorn,
- life-root, pleurisy root, dendelion, chamomile, a little vitamin B1, and 15% alcohol; in 1957,
- also contained licorice, Jamaica Dogwood and only 13.5% alcohol (pills had Jamaica Dogwood,
- pleurisy rot, licorice and iron); had 3 sons, named Dan, Will and Charles,and a daughter named
- Aroline, who married William H. Gove; husband Isaac died in 1889; by 1881 grossing $30,000/
- month; Pinkham's "Guide for Women" a great success; initially four pages, by 1901 ran to 62
- pages in five languages; compound sold in many foreign countries by the 1900's; "There was a
- bad moment in China when it was discovered that only married women were buying the compound.
- Investigation showed that the trouble lay in the Chinese name for Vegetable Compound which
- had been most ineptly translated as 'Smooth Sea's Pregnancy Womb Birth - Giving Magical 100
- Per Cent Effective Water'." (Holbrook); family-run until 1968 when sold to a pharmaceutical
- firm; 1972 operations moved to Puerto Rico; 1980's still being made; Lydia was very independent
- woman who definitely supported the women's liberation movement, although it was not labeled as
- such back then; often printers only had Lydia Pinkham's likeness, and so when Queen Victoria
- died, it was actually Lydia's picture they used, as they did when several famous women died
