"Lily the Pink" refers to [url=]Lydia Pinkham[/url] who was an "American patent-medicine proprietor who claimed that her Vegetable Compound could cure any 'female complaint' from nervous prostration to a prolapsed uterus." In the chorus, the medicinal compound refers to Pinkham's tonic, which had an 18 percent alcoholic content labeled "solely as a solvent and preservative." Advertising pamphlets described Pinkham to be the "savior of her sex."
