Rheumatism

LEAVE YOU FOREVER

Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
end 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
called uric acid deposits, were dis
solved in the joints and muscles and
expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consult
ed physicians, made experiments and
finally compounded prescription
that quickly and completely banished
every sign and symptom of rheuma-
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 through the newspapers.
He has therefore instructed drug
gists everywhere to dispense AL
