BACKACHE A WARNING
ALL SHOULD HEEO
1t Is One Of The Firs. Signs Of Kid.
ney Troubles, II segleeied,
Serious Diseases
Follow

No one can be well 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 synp-
toms. You may also be troubled with
disagreeable, annoying bladder dis
orders: have attacks of lumbago or
rheumatism; become nervous, tired,
and feel all worn out puffy sweilings
show under the eyes or in the feet and
ankles; and many other symptoms are
noticed. If they are neglected, dropsy,
diabetes, or niahts dis ~ ses, which SO
often prove fats may suit.
1t is not only dangerous, but needless
. for you TO suffer and endure the tor
lures 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 pre-
paration, because it removes the cause.
1t soaks right into the kidneys, through
the walls and Innings; cleans out the
clogged 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. There is nothing else on
earth like it. 1t is so prepared that il is
practically impossible to take it into the
human system without results.
You can secure an original package of
Croxone at triflng cost from any first
class drug store. All druggists are au-
thorized to personally return the purchase
price if Croxone should fail in a single
case Three doses a day for q few days
is often all that is ever needed to cure
the worst backache. relieve rheumatic
pains, or overcome urinary disorders
