CURES RHEUMATISM
Quickly Eases Stiff, Sore, Swol-
len Joints and Muscles
Drives Rheumatic Pains
Away

1t is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled up
and bent out of shape with its heart
wrenching pains, when you can easily
avoid it,
Rheumatism comes from weak, mac
tive kidneys, that fail to filter from the
blood the poisonous waste matter and
uric acid; and it is useless to rub on
liniments or take odrinary remedies to
relieve the pain. This only prolongs
the misery and can't possibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism is
to remove the cause. The new discoy-
cry, Croxone, does this because it neu-
tralides and dissolves the poisonous
substances and uric acid that lodge in
the joints and muscles, 30 scratch and
irritate and cause rheumatism, and
cleans out and strengthens the stopped
up, Inactive kidneys, so they can filter
the poison from the blood, and drive it
on and out of the system.
CroXone is the most wonderful medi.
cine ever made for curing chronic rheu.
matism, kidney troubles, and bladder
disorders. You will find it different
from all other remedies. There is moth
ing 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 sur
prised how quickly all your misery and
suffering will end.
An original package of Croxone costs
but a trife at any first-elass drug store.
All druggists are authorized to sell it
on positive money-back guarantee.
Three doses day for few days is
often all that is ever needed to cure
the worst backache or overcome urinary
