GUEST,ap of morristown Lyr Req: Pinkham Compound / Lydia Pinkham (68* d) Lyr Add: LYDIA PINKHAM 24 Aug 01


LYDIA PINKHAM

Oh we sing we sing we sing of Lydia Pinkham
She's the benefactress of the human ra-a-ace
She invented a Vegetable Compound
And now the papers print her fa-a-ace

Mrs. Smithe had bladder trouble
That is to say she could not pe-e-e
She took ten pounds of the Compound
And now they pipe it to the sea-e-e

Mrs. Brown had baby trouble
She couldn't have any children dear
She took ten pounds of the Compound
And now they come three times a year-ear-ear

Lydia Pinkham was indeed an over the counter potion sold in pharmacies in the 1940's. It was probably invented by a snake oil salesman, was indeed high in alcohol content, and was used by menopausal women to relieve hot flashes etc. My mother was a user of the stuff!
