RHEUMATISM
Leaves You Forever

Every druggist in this county is au-
thorized to say to every rheumatic suf-
ferer that if a full pint bottle of Allen
rhu, the sure conqueror of rheuma-
tism, does not show the way to stop
the agony, reduce swollen joints and
do away with even the slightest twinge
of rheumatic pain, he will gladly re-
turn your money without comment.
Allenrhu has been tried and tested
for years, and really marvellous re-
suits have been accomplished in the
most severe cases where the suffering
and agony was intense and piteous and
where the patient was helpless.
Mr. James H. Allen, the discoverer
of Allenrhu, who for many years suf-
fered the torments of acute rheuma-
tism, desires all sufferers to know that
he does not want a cent of anyone's
money unless Allenrhu decisively con-
quers this worst of all diseases, and he
has instructed druggists to guarantee
it as above in every instance. Orange
Drug Co can supply you.

But Lincoln seemed to let these men
go on. gradually disclosing not only
to himself but the public their selfish
personal ambitions and then at the
right time and in an inimitable way he

Lincoln's manner of dealing with
men was entirely different from that
of any other president.
He even ran after" General Nc

There is a tendency Ia recent writ

emphatic methods of rebuke are lost
and the real value of the giant among
men is destroyed

years have given the impression that
Lincoln was not master Of his cabinet
