Allen, of 26 Forbes St., Rochester. N. Y„ suffered for ■»nrs with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless ind unable to work. He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the accumulated impurities. commonly ■ailed 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 uni fina’ly compounded a prescription that quickly and completely banished evetw sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system. He freely gave his discovery, which he called Allenrhu, to others who ‘ook it, with what might be called marvelous success. After years of urging he decided to let sufferers verywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers. He has therefore instructed druggists, everywhere to dispense Allenrliu with the understanding that if the first pint bottle does not show the way to complete recovery he will gladly return your money without comment. The Holt house Drug Co., is my a)>pointed agent in your city, if you live out of town I’ll gladly send you free particulars.
