Allenrhu Completely Bnnishes All
Rheumatic Pains and TWinRes.
Mr. James II. Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this
terrible disease left him helpless and
unable to work.
He finally decided. after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the accu-
mulated impurities, commonly called
uric acid deposits, were dissolved in
the joints and muscles and expelled
from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians. made experiments and fl
nally compounded prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom Of rheumatism from
his system.
He freely gave his discovery to 9TH
ers who took 1t, with what might be
called marvellous success. After years
of urging he decided to let sufferers
everywhere know about his discovery
through the newspapers. Dealers have
been appointed agents for Allenrhu in
this vicinity with the understanding
that they will freely return the pur-
chase money TO all who state they re
ceived no benefit.-Adv.
