RHEUMATISM LEAVES
YOU FOREVER
Deep Seated Uric Aeid Deposits Are
Dissolved and the Rheumatic
Poison Starts lo lieave the System
Within Twenty-four Honrs
! Geo. A. Gorgas, whom you all know,
is authorized to suy to every rheu
! matic sufferer in this vicinity that if
! two bottles of Allenrhu, the sure
j conqueror of rheumatism, does not
| stop all agony, reduce swollen joints
and do away/with even the slightest
twinge of rheumatic pain, he will
gladly return your money without
I comment.
j Allenrhu has been tried and tested
i for years, and really marvelous re
sults have been accomplished in the
I most severe cases where the s.uffering
| and agony was intense and piteous
! and where the patient was helpless.
Allenrhu relieves at once. Imedi
: ately after you start to 'take it the
j good work begins. It searches out
t.ha uric acid deposits, dissolves the
! selretions and drives rheumatic
| poison out of the body through the
kidneys and bowels.
It's marvelous how quickly it acts.
Blepsed relief often comes in two
days, and even in cases where the suf
fering is most painful all traces dis
appear in a few days.
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 any
one's money unless Allenrhu decisive
ly conquers this worst of all diseases,
and he has instructed Geo. A. Gorgas
to guarantee it in every instance.

"There can be no strong, healthy,
beautiful, rosy-cheeked women, with

New York Physician and Medical
Author. I have strongly empha
sized the fact that doctors
should prescribe more organic
iron—nuxated iron—for their nervous,
run-down. weak, haggard-looking wo
men patients. Pallor means anaemia.
The skin ot an anaemic woman is
pale, the flesh flabby. Tho muscles
lack tone, the brain fags, and the
memory fails, and often they become
weak nervous, irritable, despondent
and melancholy. When the iron goes
from the blood of women the roses
go from their cheeks.
"In the most common foods of
America. th<> starches, sugars, tabic
syrups, candies, polished rice, white
bread, soda crackers, biscuits, maca
roni. spaghetti, tapioca, sago, farina,
degerminated cornmeal, no longer is
iron to be found. Refining processes
have removed the iron of Mother
Earth from these impoverished foods,
and sillv methods of home cookery, by
throwing down the waste pipe the
water in which our vegetables are
cooked arts responsible for another
grave iron loss. Therefore, you should
supply the iron deficiency in your food
by using some form of organic iron,
just as you would use salt when your
food has not enough salt."
Dr. A. .T. Newman. Former Police
Surgeon of Chicago and former House
Surgeon, Jefferson Park Hospital,

five thousand blue coats in good

that they would be physically equip

give it a trial. This remedy has
proven through my own tests of it
to excel any preparation I have ever
used for creating red blood, building
up the nerves, strengthening the

If people would only tako Nuxated
Iron when they feel weak or run
down, instead of dosing themselves
with habit-forming drugs, stimulants
and nicoholic beverages, there are
probably thousands who might readily
build up their red blood corpuscles,
increase their physical energy and
Bet themselves into a condition to
ward olf the millions of disease
germs that are almost continuallv
around us. It is surprising how
many people suffer from iron defic
iency and do not know of it. If you
are not strong or well you owe it to
yourself to make the following test.
See how long' you can work or how
far you can walk without becoming
tired. Next take two livo-grain tab
lets of Nuxated Iron three times per
day after meals for two weeks. Then
test your strength again and see how
much you have gained.
