Backache a Warning
All Should Heed
1t is One of the First Signs of Kidney
Troubles, if Neglected, Serious
Diseases Follow

No one can be we'll and healthy un-
less the kidneys work properly and
keep the blood pure. When they be-
come clogged up and inactive, nature
has a way of warning you.
Backache is one of the first symp-
toms. You may also be troubled with
disagreeable, annoying bladder disor-
ders; have attacks of lumbago or rheu-
matism become nervous, tired, and
feel all WORKOUT; puffy swellings show
under the eyes or in the feet and
ankles; and many other symptoms
are noticed. If they are neglected,
dropsy, diabetes, or Brights disease,
which so often prove fatal, may re-
suit
1t is not only dangerous, but need
less for you to suffer and endure the
fortunes of these troubles, for the new
discovery, Croxone, quickly and sure
ly ends all such misery
There is no more effective remedy
known for the permanent cure of all
such troubles than this new, scientific
preparation, because it removes the
cause. 1t soaks right into the kidneys,
through the walls and Innings; cleans
out the clogged up pores; neutralizes
and dissolves the poisonous uric acid
and waste matter that lodge in the
joints and muscles and cause those ter
rible rheumatic pains, and makes the
kidneys filter and sift the poison out
of the blood and drive it from the sys-
TEN.
You will find CroXone different from
all other remedies. There is nothing
else on earth like it. 1t is so prepar-
ed that it is practically impossible to
take it into the human system with
out results.
You can secure an original package
of Croxone at trifling cost from any
first-class drug store. All druggists
are authorized to personally return
the purchase price if Croxone should
fail in a single case. Three doses a
day for a few days is often all that is
ever needed to cure the worst back
ache, relieve rheumatic pains or over
come urinary disorders.

CIRCLE MEETINGS.

Primitive folks did not need laxa-
tives. They lived outdoors, ate plenty
of fruit, and all of their food was
coarse We modern people are diff
ferent. We exercise too little, eat
little fruit, and our food is too fine
too rich.
We simply can't have our ten yards
of bowels clogged up, liver choked
with sour bile and stomach full OF
foul effete matter and feel well. 1t
means that the food and waste retain
ed in the stomach and thirty feet OF
bowels ferments-decays. The decay
creates poisons, gases and acids. and
those poisons are sucked into the
blood through the very ducts intended
TO suck in the nutriment. Then We
have sick headache, become dull, bill
Gus. tongue coated, nervous, meals
don't digest, and we feel miserable
all over. So We must make our choice.
