INCIPIENT INSANITY.
A Sick and Ailing GirI-Her
Mothers Advice.
An Interesting story Told Under Em-
barrassing Circumstances.


barrassing Circumstances.
From the Express, Los 4tgties, California
The interviewer's lines sometimes
fall in queer places. People who are
to be talked to may be i'll all sorts OF
conditions and frames of mind, but
one cannot conceive much more en-
barrassing thing to1 all parties con-
cerned than an assignment to inter
view mother of a two-days' .old in
FAINT. Some things are too sacred for
even the callous newspaper man to
lightly ignore. But Mrs. G. G. Reeder
had story to tell and this paper
wanted that story. The baby was
asleep, and the mother expressed her
amiability, 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 a domestic
and worked very hard. Perhaps it
was the toll, perhaps the climate, at
all events she fell sick. Doctors and
medicines did her no good. Her appe-
tite vanished. Sleep eluded her at
night, always and ever that dreadful
feeling of lassitude and depression, so
familiar to women, made itself appar-
ent to her. And then she began to
imagine things. One night, while
driving across bridge that she knew
perfectly we'll was there, she cried out
in fright because she could see nothing.
The doctors might call this insanity.
ka ho1 do1,
sions 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
married in the meantime, concluded to
visit her old home at Daleville, Ind,
and it was while there that her
mother, Mrs. Caroline Leaser, told
her of the wonderful properties of DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
Mrs. Reeder began to take them.
When she started in she could not walk
the three-qua1ters of mile to the post
office, she was so weak. In about three
weeks she took, according to direc-
tions, 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 pleas
ures and diversions of life where before
she had been averse to society and
amusements of all kinds. The awful
notions and ha lucinations left her, her
brain again resumed its normal func-
tions. From that time to now she has
taken no medicine and she is we'll in
all respects.
''See my baby, God bless it's heart"
said the proud mother. cit is as
strong and healthy as any baby ever
born. 1t weighed nine pounds" As
it lay there, it's little pink fists clenched
over it's thumbs, it's little eyes puckered
up in sleep, bundle of pink, ,satiny in
fantile loveliness. there could be little
doubt of the physical health of its par
ents.
Mrs. Reeder lives at cottage num-
bered 4071s East Pico street, Los
Angeles, CAL, and the last words she
said were: "Oh. you are perfectly ex
cusable. I am just as glad to endorse
DR.. Williams Pink Pills as you can
possibly be to hear my story. If all
suffering women only knew their power
and good, there would be less sickness
and misery in the world, I'm sure.
Goodbye"
