First edition. 7" x 4-1/2" in colorful pictorial wrappers. Stapled at spine. 32 pp. Illustrations. Lydia Pinkham was a successful American patent-medicine proprietor who claimed that her Vegetable Compound could cure any ?female complaint? from nervous prostration to a prolapsed uterus. Pinkham first began making her medicine as a home remedy, which she freely shared with neighbors. Vegetable Compound made its commercial appearance in Lynn, Massachusetts, in 1875 for $1 a bottle. She wrote handbills for her sons to distribute with slogans such as "Only a woman can understand a woman?s ills." Although medical proof was never found to substantiate the claimed therapeutic effects of her compound, it quickly gained acceptance with women, many of whom were hesitant to consult male physicians about "female problems." In addition to the numerous advertisements and information about Lydia Pinkham?s concoctions, there are chapters for the woman of the home to include: "Seven Ways to Make a Room Look Larger," "What About That Terrible Old Ceiling?," "Can You Take Care of Your Home?," "Do You Have a Trundle Box?," "The Bedroom Closet," "Household Hints," "Be Careful of Your Stairs," "Lighting Your Home," "Color in a Home," "The Colonial Atmosphere," and more. Testimonial on rear back wrapper. Minimum soiling to front wrapper else very good.
