Sa vs His Prescription II a s Powerful Influence Over Rheumatism Mr. James H. Allen, of Rochester, N. V . suffered for years with rheumat! tn. Many times this terrible! disease left him helpless and unable I to work. He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be ffrom rheumatism until the a< ■ run,' lated ’mpuritles, commonly called u.ic acid deposits, were dissolved in tl e Joints anti muscles and expelled from the body. With this idea in mind h<> consulted physicians, made experiments and finally tomjiounded a prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system. Il<- freely gave his discovery, which he called Allenrhtt, to others who , took it. with what might be called marvelous success. After years of urging he decided to let sufferers 1 everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers. He has therefore instructed druggists everywhere to dispense Allenrhu with the understanding that if the first pint ItctUe dc.es not show the way to com- ■ plete recovery h<> will gladly return your money without comment. All druggists can supply you.
