INTERVIEWING A BABY.

AN ENFIELD EPISODE. For the first time in my life (writes a reporter in a contemporary) I. was told off by the chief to interview a baby, who by reason of certain vicissitudes had become the heroine of the day. The “baby” was a pleasant-faced little girl of three and a half, and although she showed a lively interest in the proceedings, I subsequently found it necessary to interview her by deputy in tho shape of her mother, Mrs M. J. Jones, of Enfield, near Oamaru. Concerning the various vicissitudes through which little Ethel has passed, Mrs Jones said: —“She has already had more than ner share of sorrows, for when she was only six months old she became fearfully

due either to teething or vaccination. Later on congestion of the lungs resulted, and was followed by consumption of the bowels. By this time she was quite emaciated, and despito tho skilled treatment of two doctors she continued to decline; the doctors advised an operation, but neither my husband nor I would consent, and at last we were told that Ethel could not last more than a few months. The pain in her stomach must have been excruciating, for she had hardly any sleep at all, and we had to sit up night after night with her. At this stage we road of some cures effected in children’s cases by Dr Williams’ pink pills for pale people. The full details and addresses were available, and being convinced of their truthfulness, we purchased some puls for bahy, who was little more than a year old when we began giving them to her. When she had taken the contents of two boxes the stomach pains , had lessened so much that she was aWo to sleep soundly. She took to her food again, and it appeared to nourish her. From that time we could see her improving week after week, and after using several more bcsfulls she regained, perfect health. You can see to-day howstrong and happy she is.” Children suffer from malnutrition (inability to obtain benefit from food) and from most illnesses that afflict grown-up people. What will remove the cause of disease in an adult, will, in proper doses, do as much for children (particulars of doses on every wrapper). Rickets, general weakness, and failure to "get on,” which so many children suffer from, yield with remarkable promptitude to Dr Williams’ pink pills; and they cure (in adults) liver and kidney troubles, anaemia, deTiility, dyspepsia, insomnia, unstrung nerves, skin diseases, rheumatism, sciatica, and even consumption. Obtainable from chemists and storekeepers and the Dr Williams’ Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box. six boxes sixteen and six, post free. Truthful records of cured people sent in pamphlet form to all who apply.

Wade’s Worm Figs are most effective and not unpleasant; children thrive oiler taking them.
