THE CASE OF CAPTAIN AMOS.

A VICTIM TO DESPONDENCY

Captain Amos, of Southport, S.A., has found many opportunities of endearing himself to those whose privilege it has been to meet her and work with her. Her life has been given to the good work of the Salvation Army for many years past. The deep sympathy extended to this lady in her very painful and trying illness is proof of the popularity which she has earned by her life of devotion to the work with which she has so closely associated herself. A reporter of th 9 Brisbane “Age” who call- • 1. lately upon her, was welcomed and favoured with the following information, which will no doubt prove of interest to our readers.

“When stationed at Cunnamulla,” said Captain Amos. “I went through a period of great trouble, which had a most depressing effect upon me, and I became quite despondent. The trouble which occasioned this despondency was that terribly painful complaint, neuralgia, which, with the worry and anxiety I have gone through, induced a complete runningdown of the system. The torture was terrible! For-eight long weeks the dark hours slowly ebbed away, but no sleep came to my weary, depressed mind. Sometimes, just as the day would be dawning, I managed ,to snatch a few hours sleep. I though I would never be cured. My nerves were terribly tried, and it would seem that they were being pulled and twisted in all manner of ways. I tried many remedies, but only partial relief was obtained. I never received any permanent respite. I tried cloths stepped in hot water and tied over the face, but to no purpose. I knew that my system was thoroughly run down, and thought that a tonic might prove of benefit. But at this time I was advised to try the efficacy of the galvanic battery, but, as I said before, without lasting success. Many of my comrades visited me. one told me that Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale 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 greatly 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 slightest attack since. With the cessation of the suffering my health began to improve, and from the day when I first took Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People to the present, I have put in many a hard day’s work in the open air in the cause of God and humanity. Today I am perfectly free of the complaint. I know of others who have been cured by the pills, and I recommend them on every occasion to my friends. I was stationed at Ipswich for some time, and am well known in Army circles from the shores of the Pacific right up to the far west towns of Queensland.” 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 in lesser, ailments. No safer or more valuable tonic exists.
