About This Item
Lynn, Massachusetts: Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Company Top free corner front wrapper gone. Paper is toned but quite clean and readable. 32 pages of testimonies from happy customers, with a short essay on Echo and Narcissus. The booklet is not dated but probably is from the late 20's. Lydia Pinkham (1819-1883) was an American inventor and marketeer of herbal-alcol based remedies. They were advertised for ladies and young girls as "women's tonic", used to treat menstrual problems. The established medical community dismissed her pillss and liquids as quackery. BUT products with a modified recipe are on sale today and sales seem to be brisk!! A well-preserved item for the collector of such material. (See photos). 32pp. . Unknown Edition. Color Pictorial Wrappers. Light Wear and Soiling/No Dust Jacket. Small Thin Octavo.
