An Interesting Story Told Under EN-
barrassing Circumstances.
From the Express, Los Angeles California.
The interviewer's lines 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 much more embarrass-
ing thing for all parties concerned than
an assignment to interview mother Of
a two days. old infant. Some things are
too sacred for even the callous news
paper 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 ap-
petite vanished. Sleep eluded her at
night, always and ever that dreadful
feeling Of lassitude and depression, so
familiar to women, made itself apparent
to her. And then she began to i'm
agine 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, but
until the Authorizations and decisions
grow to be a 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
quarters of a mile to the postofice, she
was so weak. In about three weeks she
took according to directions about five
boxes of the pills, and at the expira-
tion of that time could 60 down into
town and come back and do big day 8
washing over the tub at her home.
Her blood came back into the pale
cheeks, sleep once again refreshed her
at night, the cold sweats left, and she
coull eat and enjoy all the pleasures
and diversions of life where before she
had been averse to society and amuse-
ments of all kinds. The awful notions
and Authorizations left her, her brain
again resumed its normal functions.
From that time to now she has taken
no medicine and she is we'll in all re-
spects.
