Has Powerful Influence

Mr.. James II. Allen suffered. for
years with rheumatism Many times
this terrible disease LETT him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years Of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the ac-
cumulated impurities, commonly call
ed uric acid deposits. were dissolved
in the joints and muscles and expell-
ed from the body.
With this idea in mind he consult
ed physicians, made experiments and,
finally compounded prescription
that quickly and completely banishedi
every sign and symptom of rheuma- 4
tism 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
discovery thru the newspapers.
Chas. Stepan has been appointed
agent for Allenrhu in this vicinity
with the understanding that he will
freely return the purchase money on
the first two bottles to all who state
they received no benefit.

Construction of the building will

will be opened for the whole of its
2l0-feet length to permit the smoke
to escape. Oxen to feed the crowd

Tho it was near morning when

eager to begin the real work on his
case. His surprising Identification
of Miriam as the former spy on ST.
las Clyde whetted his zeal. Her pres
ent game of course was to secure the
supposed millionaire in the bonds OF
matrimony. Was the Red Gang be-
ture? Jack was inclined to think
it was all part of the same scheme.
In either case Mrs. Cleaver, notwith-
standing her social position, must be
Miriam's confederate. 1t was Mrs,
Cleaver who had picked them up.
