N INTERESTING STORY TOLD UNDER
EMBARRASSING CIRCUMSTANCES.

From the Express, Los angeles, California.
The interviewer's lives sometimes fall in
queer places People who are to be talked
to may be in all sorts of conditions and
frames of mind, but one cannot conceive a
much more embarrassing thing for all par
ties concerned than an assignment to inter-
| view mother of two days old infant.
Some things are too sacred for even the cal
lous newspaper man to lightly ignore. But
Mrs. &. Z. Reeder had a story to tell and this
paper wanted that story. The baby was
asleep, and the mother expressed her smia-
bility, SO the reporter was ushered into the
room.
Mrs. Reeder used to be Johanna Rinker,
and lived for several years at Riverside,
Cal. She was q domestic and worked yery
hard. Perhaps it was the toll, perhaps the
climate, at all events, she fell sick. Doc
tors and medicines did her no good. Her ap-
petite vanished. Sleep eluded her at night,
always and ever that dreadful feeling of las.
situde and depression, so familiar to women,
made itself apparent to her. And then she
began to imagine things. One night while
driving across bridge that she knew per.
fectly well was there, she cried out in fright
because she could see nothing. The doctors
might call this insanity, but until the hallu-
cinations and delusions grow to be menace
to life or peace, not much heed is paid to the
imaginings of weakly girls.
Last Spring Mrs. Reeder, for she had mar

her old home at DalevilIe, Ind, and il was
while there that her mother, Mrs. Caroline
Leaser told her of the wonderful properties
of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
Mrs. Reeder began to take them. When
she started in she could not walk the three
quarters of a mile to the post Office, she was
so weak. In about three weeks she took
according to directions about five boxes of
the pills, and at the expiration of that time
could go down into town and come back
and do big days washing over the tub at
home. Her blood came back into the pale
cheeks, sleep once again refreshed her at
night the cold sweats left, and she could
eat and enjoy all the pleasures and diver
sions of life where before she had been averse
to society and amusements of all kinds.
The awful notions and hallucinations left
her, her brain again resumed its normal
functions. From that time 10 now she has
taken no medicine and she is well in all
respects. =,

healthy as any baby ever born. 1t weighed
nine Pounds.", As it lay there, its little
eyes puckered up in sleep, bundle of pink,
satiny infantile loveliness, there could be
little doubt of the physical health of its
parents.
Mrs. Reeder lives at cottage numbered
4074 East Pico Street, Los Angeles, Cal, and
the last words she said were ''Oh you are
perfectly excusable. am just as glad to
endorse DIR. Williams Pink Pills as you can
possibly be to hear my story. Ifa all suffering
women only knew their power and good,
there would be less sickness and misery lin
the world, I'm sure. Good bye. {"
