RHEUMATISM LEVEAS
YOU FOREVER
Deep Seated Uric Acid Deposits Are
Dissolved and the Rheumatic Poison
Starts to Leave the System Within
Twenty-four Hours.

Every druggist in this county is author
lied to say to every rheumatic sufferer in
this vicinity THAT if two bottles of Allenrhu,
the sure, conquerer of rheumatisrn does not
stop all agony, reduce swollen joints and
do away with even the slightest twinge OF
rheumatic pain, he will gladly return your
money without comment. .
Allenrliu has been tried and tested for
years, and really marvellous results have
been accomplished in the most severe cases
where the suffering and agony was intense
and piteous and where the patient was
helpless.
Allenrhu relieves at once, Immediately
after you start to take it the good work
begins, 1t searches out the uric acid de-
posts, dissolves the secretons and drives
rheumatic poison out of the body through
the kidneys and bowels.
It's marvellous how quickly it acts
Blessed relief often comes in two days, and
even in cases where the suffering is most
painful all traces disappear in a few days,
Mr.. James H. Allen, the discoyerer of Allen
rhu who for many years suffered the tor
ments of acute rheumatism, desires all suffer
ers to know that he does not want cent
of anyone's money unless Allenrhu decisive
| ly conquers this worst of all diseases, and
he has instructed all druggists to guarantee
| it in every instance.
