Says His Prescription !.
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James H. 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, comm only 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
finally compounded prescription
that quickly and completely hanished
every sign and symptom of rheumatism
from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took it, with what might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let suf-
ferers everywhere know about his dis
covery through the newspapers. Your
druggist has been appointed agent for
Allenrhu in this vicinity with the I'M
derstanding that he will freely return
the purchase money on the first two
bottles to all who state they received
no benefit.

about STEAMBOAT, the old quarter OF

so fascinates those of the west. Is
it the yelled women in whose faces

The white citizens Of Keo-

zens- the proposal is to care
for the youth Of the colored
race, in order that they may
grow into good citizens and
Keokuk has more colored boys
and girls right now than ever.

them?
Shall they be allowed to run
loose within their limited range
and grow up under the acci.

Or shall they be brought un-

special purpose, made attrac-
tive to them, and exerting al
ways an upward force upon
them?
