Says His Prescription
Has Powerful influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him help
less 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 expel-
ed from the body.
With this idea in mind he con-
suited physicians, made experiments
and finally compounded q prescrip-
ton that quickly and completely
banished every sign and symptom Of
rheumatism from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took IL, 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.
Stephn has been appointed agent for
Allenrheu 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.

Major Dick b. Foster, of the Judge

department, speaking of the admin
istration's leniency and favoritism to
slackers. said:
During tho first three months of
my service considerable number OF
conscientious DIRECTORS were en-
countered. With the position as
snmed by the genuine objector to
military service because of religious
scruples there was perhaps mini
mum of sympathy. but at least there
was understanding among the Of
ficers who had to deal with him.
But from the commanding officer
OF the division down there was a
feeling of outraged helplessness.
when. under explicit, secret orders
from the secretary of war, we were
compelled to permit men who were
nothing but contemplate slackers to
find shelter behind the screen OF n
suddenly acquired religious scruple
which forbade their bearing arms"
