BACKACHE A WARN
ING YOU Should HEED
It is One of Natures First
Signs of Kidney Troubles,
if Neglected, Serious
Diseases May Follow.

When the kidneys are 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 worn out; puffy swellings show IN
der 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 result.
It is not only dangerous, but needless
for you t. suffer and endure the tor
lures of these troubles, when a little
CroXone now will quickly and surely
end all such misery.
There is no more effective remedy
known for all such troubles than CroX-
one, because it reaches the cause. 1t
sOaks right into the kidneys, through
the walls and Innings; cleans out the
cIogSed up pores; neutraliZes and dis
solves the poisonous uric acid and
waste matter that lodge in the joints
and muscles and cause those terrible
rheumatic pains, and makes the kid
neyS filter and sift the poison out of
the blood and drive it from the system.
You will find Croxone different from
all other remedies. 1t is practically i'm
possible to take it without results.
An original package costs but a
