SAYS HIS PRESCRIPTION
HASPOWERFUL INFLUENC
OVER RHEUMATISM

MT 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
ceascless study, that no one can be free
from rheumatism until the accumulated
impurities, commonly 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 fin
ally compounded n prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign aud symptom Of rheumatism from
ais system
lie freely gave what might be call
cd marvellous success. After years of
urging he decided to let sufferers
everywhere know about his discovery
through the newspapers. Quinlan's
Pharmacy has been appointed agent for
iAlleurhu in this vicinity with the uu-
derstandine that he will freely return
! the purchase money to all who state
they received no benefit.
