Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James H Allen, of 26 Forbes St,
Rochester, N 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 be
free from rheumatism until the accu-
mulated 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 f.
nally compounded a prescription 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 marvel
Gus success. After years of urging he
decided to let sufferers everywhere
know about his discovery through the
newspapers. He has therefore instruc-
ted druggists everywhere TO dispense
Allenrhu with the understanding that
if the first bottle does not show the
way to cimplete recovery he will glad

week was an event OF special i'm
portance, to Maine, for the canning

dustries of this State. 1t was here
also that II had its beginnings as q
practical business proposition.
The story of the Winslows, Nathan
and Isaac of Portland, who were the
real founders of the canning in
dustry in this Country has often
been told. Before the two Portland
Quakers became interested in the
possibilities of canning there had
been much experimenting for sew
eral decades without very practical
results. Appert of France had been
the most successful. Nathan Wins
low supplied the money and Isaac
went to France I'm 1850 and studied
the Appert methods. The French
man canned his fruit and vegetables
In glass jars. When Isaac returned
he devised the plan OF closing a tin
can with a drop of solder. That
the tin can into the golden fortunes
made by the early Gamers. 1t was
one Of the great inventions of the
age. The Winslews began canning
corn In tins in 1852. Now every
form Of perishable food Is preserved
in this manner. In any up to date
food store in Portland today one
can purchase a full course dinner
from soup to nuts" and take 1t
home In tin cans.
The canning industry got its start
In Portland and the business has
grown to be one of our chief
sources Of wealth. Packing estab-
!ishments are scattered all along the
coast and we'll back into the interior.
In Maine are packed most OF the
tlueberries and American sardines

On Behalf Of the British

To the Editor Kennebec Journal,
Sir:
1t was with much interest that I
read in your esteemed paper an in
terview with Mr. Clark Drummond
who has go recently returned from
Turkey.
With reference to his remarks re-
garding the attitude of the Turks
towards the British patrols while
there. I would like to add a state
ment made by n former American
ambassador, Mr.. Morgenthau.
Speaking at the American Bank
efs' Association in New York in Oc-
tober. 1922. he declared that within
the last few weeks Britain has saved
civilization. Nothing" he said,
could have stopped the TAks run
ming amok and following the Greeks
through Europe but the knowledge
that the British Navy and British
ARMY were there under General Har-
rjEgton."
None can know except those who
are behind the scenes what a grand
piece of work Britain has done
again.
This should remove any false i'm
pressions that your readers may
have gathered from Mr.. Drummond's

Editor Kennebec Journal,
Augusta, Maine.
Dear Sir:
Your editorial of March 9Th, en-
titled, Sympathetic Propaganda" Is
quite interesting to a coal man. /
am inclined to agree with you that
Oil has stimulated the owners Of the
Anthracite Coal Mines and the re-
tail coal dealers.
OF course / do not agree with you
in the childish names you call these
owners but do you know that oil has
brought out the fact that our people
have been wasting lot of money in
anthracite coal, that il you heat your
house with egg or stove size, and
your arrangements are the ones
found in private houses. you are not
getting over so per cent efficiency.
That is YOU attend your furnace
with the same degree Of care that
you have to give to the use of burn
ing Oil. and then burn anthracite
buckwheat. you will get a higher
efficiency from the coal itself, and at
a price much less per ton.
This subject is aell worth your
while to look into. and also for the
benefit Of your readers.
Yours very truly.

President n. f. Coal Dealers Assn.
