When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
ii generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-knoWn
authority. Meat forms uric acid
which oVerworks the kidneys in their
effort to filter it from the blood and
they become sort of paralyzed and
-loggy. When your kidneys get slug
gish and clog YOU must relieve them,
like you relieve your bowels; femov-

yea have haekaehe, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours,
tongue is coated, and when the wealth
~ is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine is cloudy, full of sediment,
channels often get sore, water scaldS
and YOU are obliged to seek relief two
Or three times during the night.
Either consult Il good. reliable physi-
elan at once or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces OF Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys. also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-

sure WAY TO
END RHEUMATISM
Eaac Stiff, Sore 1oints and Muscles.
Makes Pains ard BaSkachc Prompt
Iy Vanish.

Most all rheumatism is due to one
cause-wcal Kidneys" says noted
authority. The kidneys become clog
gcd up, get sluggish and filter or
strain out only a part of the poison
Gus waste matter and uric acid, all
The rest remains in the blood and cir
culates through the system, where it
lodges in the joints and muscles, and
causes al the trouble.
The only way to overcome this, is to
make your kidneys work properly
You can easily and surely do this by
taking a little Croxone, which never
fails to act promptly.
Croxone not only cleans out the
clogged up kidneys. strengthens them
and makes them active, but it neu-
tralizes and dissolves the poisonous
waste substances, and uric acid, that
scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism, so the kidneys can filter II
from the blood and drive, it out of the
system. GIL
Croxone is believed to be the most
remarkable preparation ever known
for the prompt relief and cure of
rheumatism, kidney troubles, and
bladder disorders. 1t is entirely diff
ferent from other remedies. 1t is so
prepared that it is practically impos-
sible to take it without results. Relief
follows the first few doses, and you
will be surprised how quickly stiff'
sore. swollen joints, and muscles,
rheumatic pains. and all such misery
ends.
An original package of Croxone
costs but tribe, and every druggist
recommends and sells it, on positive
money-back guarantee. Three doses
a day. for a few days, is often all that
is ever needed to overcome the worst
backache or most annoying urinary
disorders.-Adv.
