Lydia Pinkham HouseLydia Pinkham House

This 1872 Second Empire house was the residence of Lydia Pinkham, whose homemade herbal remedy for dysmenorrhea was one of the bestselling such medical products of the late 19th century thanks to Pinkham's use of her own image as a marketing tool. Orders and other correspondence were received at the house's Western Avenue address; sometimes Pinkham wrote back personally, a practice continued by her company after her death.[132] Photo: User:Magicpiano, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LynnMA_LydiaPinkhamHouse.jpg)
