A WARNING =

1t is One of the First Signs of
Kidney Troubles, if Neglect
ed, Serious Diseases
Follow. 4a pc

No one can be well and healthy
unless the kidneys work properly and
keep the blood pure When they be
come clogged up and inactive, nature
has way of warning you.
Backache is one of the first symp-
toms. You may also be troubled
with disagreeable, annoying bladder
disorders: have attacks of lumbago or
rheum tism; become nervous, tired,
and feel all WORKOUT; puffy swellings
shcw under the eyes or in the feet
and ankles; and many other symp-
toms are noticed. If they are neg
Iected, dropsy, diabetes, or Bright's
disease, which so often prove fatal,
may result.
1t is not only dangerous, but need
less for you to suffer and endure the
tortures of these troubles, for the new
discovery. Croxone, quickly and surely
ends all such misery.
There is no more effective remedy
known for the prompt cure of all Such
troubles than this new, scientific prep
aration, 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
terrible rheumatic pains and makes
the kidneys filter and sift the poison
out of the blood and drive it from the
system.
You will find Croxone different from
all other remedies. There is nothing
else on earth like it. 1t is so prepared
that it is practically impossible to take
it into the human system without re-
suits.
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 day
for a few days is often all that is ever
