Says His Prescription
Has Powerful influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James II. Allen. of Rochester.
N. Y, suffered for years with rheu.
matism. Many times this terrible
disease left him helpless and un.
able to work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the &C.
cumulated impurities. commonly
called uric acid deposits, were dis.
solved In the joints and muscles
and expelled from the body.
With this idea In mind he con.
suited physicians, made expert.
mentb and finally compounded a
prescription that quickly and com.
pletely banished every sign and
symptom OF rheumatism from his
system.
He freely gave his discovery
which he called Allenrhu, 10 others
who took II, with what might be
called marvellous success. After
years Of urging he decided to let
sufferers everywhere know about
his discovery through the news
papers. He has therefore instructed
druggists everywhere to dispense
Allenrhu with the understa nding
that II the first pint bottle does ndt
show the way to complete recovery

fear viii be ended for zanop
Safarian. of Richmond, when the

docks in New York, August "a.
with the only other remaining sur
vivors of, the seventeen Safarian
children who in 1915 were driven
forth between their Turkish guards
ian deportation of that year.
Six years of misery and starva-
ton past. the two survivors of that
fearful journey will meet again
when Miss Vartanous Safarian
arrives in New York.
This was learned through G. w.
Hopper, regional director Of the
Near East Relief here. For more
than two years. Mr.. Hopper has
been in constant touch with the
authorities in Washington and
Beirut, and despite repeated dis
couragements, finally obtained per-
mission for the poor woman to
make the trip. Mr.. Safarian came
to this country as a deck hand
after escaping from the Turkish
Army. where he had been drafted
as a servant, and enlisting the aid
Of the American authorities over
seas. He came to Richmond and
is the proprietor of two stores in
South Richmond at the present
time.
When the great deportation took
place in 1915 the Safarian family
was living in the city of Marak,
Kamah, not far from Erivan. With
out a moments warning the Safari-
ans were ordered out and marched
away. leaving everything, even re-
fused permission to take their saw
ings in money with them. After
months of travel during which
many OF the family died, they
reached Marash district, where they
were subjected to inhuman perse-
cutions at the hands of the Moham-
medan Turks.
Here most of the Armenian wo-
men were carried off to Turkish
harems, and while Mr.. Safarian
was in servitude with the Turkish
Army his wife was abducted and
has never been found, and his
children were murdered. The
women were subjected to treatment
worse than death itself, and only
through the efforts Of the Near
East organization, was the sister of
Mr.. Safarian finally found and
rescued. Mr.. Safarian will journey
to New York to meet her.
