Smith, is over coral reef and in con-

So sure, so positive, so quick and
lasting, are the results obtained from
the use of Croxone, that three doses
a day for a few days are often all
that is required to cure the worst
case of backache, regulate the most
annoying bladder disorders, and over
come the numerous other similar con-
ditions.
1t is the most wonderful prepara-

is entirely different from all other
remedies. There is nothing else on
earth to compare with it. 1t is so
prepared that it is practically impos-
sibIe to take it into the human sys-
tenn without results.
You can obtain an original pack
age of Croxone at trifling cost from
any first-class drug store. All drug
gists are authorized to personally re-
turn the purchase price if Croxone
