Allenrhu Completely Banishes all
Rheumatic Pains and TwInges.

Mr.. James II. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided. after years OF
ccaseless study, that no one can be free
from rheumatism until the accumulat
ed 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 prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism
from his SYSTEM
He freely gave his discovery, which
he called ALLENRHC, to others who
took 1t, with what might be called mar
velous success. After years of urging
he decided to let sufferers everywhere
know about his discovery through the
newspapers. He has therefore in
structed druggists everywhere to dis
pense ALLENRHU with the under.
standing that If the first pint bottle
does not show the way to complete re.
covery he will gladly return you,
money without comment. Sexton's
Pharmacy, Augusta, Jackson's DRUG
