Unrivaled by Father John or the Smith Brothers, Lydia Pinkham was for years the most vivid personality in the U. S. medicine chest. Lydia Estes Pinkham died in Lynn, Mass, in 1883. Her prim pictures, however, remained on every package of tier famed Vegetable Compound, and clerks went on answering in her name 100,000 letters per year from women who thought the compound relieved their periodic ills. When the late Edward W. Bok started his crusade against patent medicines, he debunked the post-mortem Pinkham correspondence by publishing in his Ladies' Home Journal a picture of Mrs. Pinkham...

The Giants had knocked only two singles from Washington's veteran righthander, "General" Crowder. Then the Senators went to bat in the sixth. They did everything toward scoring more runs-except...
...brush up their memories. For the first noteworthy fact about Kuhn, Loeb today is that of its eleven partners only two were members of the firm prior to 1928: Felix Warburg, elected 1896, now active only in an advisory capacity, whose chief concern today is with the long tier of filing cabinets containing the desiers of his numberless charities which stand behind his desk in the K.
