SURE WAY To
END RHEUMATISM
Ease Stiff, Sore Joints and
Muscles; Makes Pains and
Backache Promptly Vanish

Most all rheumatism is due to one
cause-weak kidneys" says a noted
authority. The kidneys become
clogged 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 circu-
lates through the system, where it
lodges in the joints and muscles, and
causes all 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 neutral
ICES and dissolves the poisonous waste
substances and uric acid. that scratch
and irritate and cause rheumatism so
the kidneys can filter it from the blood
and drive 1T out of the system
Croxone is believed to be the most
remarkable preparation ever known
for the prompt relief and cure soft
rheumatism, kidnex troubles and bIad-
der disorders. It is entirely different
from other remedies. 1t is so pre-
pared that it is practically impossible
to take it without results. Relief fol-
lows 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 a trifie, and every druggist
recommends and sells it on a positive
money back guarantee. Three doses a
dcy for few days is often all that is
ever needed to overcome the worst
packache or most annoying urinary
disorders.-Advertis
