Mr.. James H. Allen of 26 Forbes
ST., Rochester, y. ". suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years OF
ceaseless study, that no one can he
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 con-
suited physicians. made experiments
and finally compounded a prescrip-
ton that quickly and completely
banished every sign and symptom OF
| rheumatism from his system.
He freely gave his discovery, which
he called Allenrhu, to others who
took it, with what might be called
marvellous success. After years of
urging he decided to let sufferers
everywhere know about his discovery
through the newspapers.

prescription quickly gives has made
for it thousands of friends" says
