The Case of Captain Amos.

A VICTIM TO DESPONDENCY. Captain Amos, of Sonthport, S,A., has found many opportunities of endearing herself to those whose privi ege it has been to meet her and work with her. Her life has been given to the good work of the Salvation Army fo-many years past. The deep sympathy extended to this lady in her very painful and trying illness is proof of thfe popularity which she has earned by her life of devotion to the work w th which she has so closely associated herself. A reporter of the ' Brisbane Age, ' who called lately upon her, was welcomed and favored with the following Information, which wi 1 no doubt prove of interest to our readers : — " When stationed at Cunnamulla," said Captain Amos, I' I went through a period of great trouble, which had a most depressing effect upon me, and I became quite despond-nfc. The tr üble whic'i occasioned this despondency was that terribly painful \ comp'aint, n<uralgia, which, with the worry and anxiety I have gone through, induced a complete running-down of the system. The torture \va9 t rrible ! For eight long weeks the dark hours slowly ebbed away, but no sleep came to my weary, depiessrd mind. Sometimes, just as the day wou d be dawning, I managed to snatch a few h"urs sleep. 1 thought I would never be cured. My nerves were teiribly tried, and it would seem as if they were being p illrd and twist d in all manner of ways. I tried many remedies, but ' on y partia' relief wa* obtained. I never • received any permanent respite. I tried • cloths steeped in hot water and tied over ' the faop, but to no purpose. I knew that my system was thoroughly run down, and thought that a ionic might prove of benefit. But at thi3 time I was advised to try t' e j efficacy of the ga'vanic battery, bnt, as I ; said before, without lasting success. Many j of my comrades visited me, and one to'd me that Dr. Williams' pink pills for pa'e people had cured a friend of hers. I resolved to give them a trial. I purchased a box, and much to my joy, after finishing it, I felt greafy relieved. I then continued the treatment, and strange as it may seem. I am speaking the solemn truth when I say that very soon afterwards all pain vanished, and I have never had the s'ighte=t ; attack since. Wi h the cessation of the I suffering my hea'th began to "mprove, and from the day when I first took Dr Williams' pink pi:ls for pa'e peop'e to the pre- • sent, I have put in many a hard day'* ■ work in the open air in the c luse of God of humanity. Today I a>n perfectly free of the c mp'aint. I know of others who have bpen cured by th» pil's, and I recommend them on every occasion to my friend*. I w.is stationed at Ipswich for some time, and am well known in army circles from th 3 shore ; of the Pacific right up to the far west towns in Queens'and." ( It is not to be wondered at that when the remedy referred to above can do so much in extreme cases, that it is resorted to with ! success in lesser ai mants. No safer or more valuable tonic exists. Dr Williams' pink pi Is for pa'e ppople act diree ly on the blood, and thus cum rheumatism, iu- ! flu^nza, dengue fever, Fcintica, coc3ump- , tion, pneu-noni-*, bronchitis, scrofula, ! chronic erysipe'as, a'l forms of female weakness and res'ore . pale and sallow complexions to the robust hu > of health, j They are obtainable a*, all chemists and storekeepers, or from the D>\ Williams' Medicine Co., We lington, N.Z., at three ! shillings, or six b.^xes at six'e^n and blx- I pence. Get the genuine with the fu'l name j — all seven words — Dr. Williams' pink pills ! for pale peple, printed, in red ink on a white wrapper. They are sp endid nerve and spinal m^dioine, and thin have cured many cases of pira ysis, locomoW 1 ataxia, neuralgia, St. Vitus' danoe. Their \indoubted curative proper ies are amply demonstrated by their success in the case of Captain Amos.
