Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Discoverer Tells Geo. A. Gorgas Not
to Take q Cent OF Anyone's Money
Unless Allenrhu Completely Ban
ishes All Rheumatic Pains and
TWinges.
MIR. 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 &C
cumulated impurities commonly cAiI-
ed uric acid deposits, were dissolved
il. the joints and muscles and expelI-
ed from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and
finally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism
from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took it. with " hat might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let suf-
ferors everywhere know about mis-
discovery through the newspapers
Geo. A. Gorgas has been appointed
agent for Allenrhu in this vicinity
with the understanding that he will
freely return the purchase money to
all who state they received no benefit.

Class Nonsense in the Army
BY DR.. A CRANE
BY Webster


There is no question: that strict dsciplinc. is absolutely necessary
in the army. Any measures necessary to secure such discipline are
Justified.
But we must remember that most of the armies in the world hav"
got many Of their ideas from lrissian efficiency. And the very gSt
of that cficicnc, is class. It rests upon the assumed fact that the of
dccr is al entirely different kind OF a human being from a private,
and that unles, a private is made IN realize this every moment of his
life be Is liable 10 break over and rebel.
This theory is also very much IN vogue in the English army. And
there are not q few signs of n IN the American army. IL is wholly
wrong and unnecessary. discipline should be maintained while troops
are on duty. Every man should obey orders unqucStionahly and
promptly, aud nothing should be allowed to Interfere with this.
should not be allowed nj a social function when an officer is there, or
that officers should not freely mngle with priyaics socially otherwise,
is sheer nonsense and wholly m Amcrican.
Many of the privatcs in our army have come from the best of
families, and are men of culture aud refinement.
Al F,rt Benjamin Harrison in Indiana last May the chief nurse
Of the Army Nurse corps posted a notice which read something
like this:
"Thr nurses are not Ia associate with the enlisted men, and only
TO talk to hem on buSiness As regarding the Medical eorpj men, al
though they came from the best of homes and families, still while
they were in the service they were ordcrics and they should be
treated as such, This ruling is not 10 he questioned, as il is made for
Your protection -
One of the Red Cross nurses objected 10 this. and wrote 10 the
tint the protesting mrsc was relieved from duty. The reason given
was ''tcmpcramcntany unsutcd for active military service. -
This whole matter is ne that could be settled with u little com.
mon sense. ordinary tact, and everyday Intelligence.
II is going to take constant watchflncss, however, 10 keep the
spirit of class out of the army, where the whole organization auto
natca0y favors II. There fc few natures that IN resist the tempta-
ton 10 abuse the power that comes with arbitrary authority II is
ciphnc and subordination are necessary ON duty, they are simply vir-
tues that are put on for a certain purpose, and that when officers and
men meet IN private life Or conc together socially they should rccog-
nze that they are all plain American citizens.
