Many times this terrible disease left him helpless anil unable to work. He finally decided, after years of eeaaeless study, that no one can be frw* from rheumatism until the acruwulated impurities, commonly call'd uric acid deposits, were dissolved 11 the joints and mtibcks and expelled from the body. With this idea in mind he consulted physicians, made experiment* and tally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely banished <fvry sign and symptom of rheum*-! tnni from his system. He freely gave his discovery, wMch he railed AllenrhtL to others who took it with what might be callee! marvelous success. After years of urging he decided to let sufferers every- , ■'where know about hl* discovery through the newspapers. • He has thcrefoA instructed druggists everywhere to dispense Allearhu with the tmiiirstanding that if the first pint battle does not show the w»y to complete recovery he will gladly return ir money without comment.

That was the land speculator. Daniel Boone Is popularly regarded ax the typical Independent pioneer, | yet when he crossed over the inoun- 1 talus into Kentucky he went as the | agent of a North Carolina land spts'ttlatur, CoL Richard Henderson. Another such real estate dealer of an earlier day was no less a i**r*on than Col. George Washington, the future "Father of His Country." William I'enn's fair dealing with; the Indians 1* proverbial, but his sons were not so scrupulous. They i were the authors of the notorious ' “Walking Purchase** of 1737. They opened negotiations with the Delawares for extending the I'eunsyl- | vanin colony beyond Nesluiudny j creek. One old chief who opposed the , cession reminded bls brethren of the I “Oxhide Purchase’’ made many years ■ before by settlers who asked only enough land to build a tire upon or as much a* could be encompassed by un oxhide. The request was granted. The settlers cut the skin into thin , strips and the Delawares learned to I their dismay just how much lund could be encompassed by nn oxhide. But despite thia hitter lesson the Delawares filially consented t> the: Pentes' offer, the agreement being that' the new territory was to extend as far west from the Nesliaminy as a man could walk In a day and a half, hence the name ‘‘Walking Purchase.” Then the Penns built a saiooth road Into; the territory and hired a swift runner who went over the route several times to liecome familiar with It. The result i was that on the day the measurement ; was imide this runner gained for the Penns at least four times as much ; land as the Delawares had intended j they should have. The Indians pro- i tested and kepr on protestiirg until j the Penns substituted strong arm I methods for trickery. They culled in the Iroquois, who drove the Delawares ; ofif the disputed land. But the Indians had a long memory : Fifty years later they reproached j Governor Nt. Clair of the Northwest I territory With the “Oxhide Purchase" ! and the "Walking Purchase" when he called the. Ohio tribe* into rouncll at i Fort Ilarmar. and it waa not until after a blmwly war that the tribes finally ceded their lands. ,i-O ' — .
