MAKES RHEUMATISM
.PR0Mp TLY DISAPPEAR
CHRONIC, CRIPPLED-UP SUFFER-
ERS FIND RELIEF AFTER FEW
DOSES OF NEW REMEDY ARE
TAKEN.

1t is needless to suffer any longe
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up and bent out of shape with its
heart-wrenching pains, when you car
surely avoid it.
rheumatism comes from weak, in
active kidneys, that fall to filter from
the blood, the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid; and it is useless
to rub on liniments or take ordinary
remedies to relieve the pain. This
only prolongs the misery and cant
possibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
is to remove the cause. The new dis
covery, CroXone, does this because
it neutralizes and dssolves all the
poisonous substances and uric acid
that lodge in the joints and muscles.
to scratch and irritate and cause
rheumatism, and cleans out and
strengthens the stopped-up, inactive
kidneys so they can filter all the
poison from the blood, and drive it
on and out OF the system.
CroXCne is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for curing chron-
ic rheumatism, kidney troubles. and
bladder disorders. You will find it
different from all other remedies.
There is nothing else on earth like it.
1t matters not how Old you are, or
how long you have suffered, it is
practically impossible to take it into
the human system without results.
You will find relief from the first
few doses, and you will be surprised
how quickly all your misery and suf-
fering will end.
An original package of Croxone
costs but trifle at any first-class
drug store> All druggists are author
ized to sell it on a positive money
back guarantee. Three doses a day
for a few days is often all that is
ever needed to cure the worst back
ache or overcome urinary disorders.

letters. The object was to find out
whether or not there exists a body
of words so generally used in ordi-
nary. correspondence that they should
form the core and basis of the SPELL
ing vocabulary of the lower grades Of
elementary schools. These letters
we're secured from twelve different
sources. Twelve different classes OF
letters were examined. These letters
contained in all 110,160 words. OF
these letters, representative num-
Der from each class was selected. The
words contained in these letters were
tabulated to the amount of 23,620
words. These 23,629 words SO tabu
lated were made up of 1000 sepa
rate words. The ordinary desk die
tionary contains from forty to sixty
thousand words. The small pocket
dictionaries contain from ten to fif-
teen thousand words so that we read
lily see that the vocabulary used in
this large number of letters formed
a very small part of the ordinary
dictionary which we find in our
schools. OF this 2,001 separate words
which made up an aggregate of over
$4,000 words, 751 Of them appeared
only once each, while one word was
repeated 1850 times. Another fact
disclosed by this investigation shows
that of the 23,629 words tabulated,
5i2 separate words with their repe
titions constituted seven -eighths Of
this number. The word "I'' appeared
1880 times. the word "the" 991S times
and and 697 times, and so on, the
different words appeared in decreas-
/ ing numbers until the small number
of SIP words made up nearly seven
eighths Of the entire vocabulary used
in this large number of letters
Realizing that almost the only use
the child will ever have for spelling
after leaving school will be in cor
Irespondence and writing and realizing
further the Importance of correct
spelling in all forms of writing and
knowing that business men complain
a great deal about the incorrect spell
ing Of pupils from the public schools,
we had twenty eight separate lists
Of these 512 words prepared and
placed in the hands of the teachers
VINO are requested to see to it that
every child in our public schools can
spell correctly this entire list Of
words that are used so often.
We believe that this is one of the
most practical tests with respect iol
spelling in our public schools that
has ever been made. 1t gives US
something definite with which to
work. 1t indicates a list OF words
that children are sure to use. This |
will enable to do specific work in
this particular subject and not scat
ter the chid's energy and attention
over too much ground and upon many
words that he will never need. We
are expecting great good to accrue
20 our children from this specific eX-
ercise.
