MAKES RHEUMATISM
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
Chronic, Crippled-up Sufferers Find
Relief After Few Doses OF New
Remedy Are Taken.

II is needless TO suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out of shape with its
neart-wrenching pains. when you can
surely avoid IT,
Rheumatism comes from weak, in
active kidneys. that fail to hitter from
the blood the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid: and It is useless
to rub on liniments or take ordinary
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 dis
covery. Croxone. does this because it
neutralizes and dissolves all the pois-
onous substances and uric acid that
lodge In the joints and muscles, to
scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism, and cleans out ana strength
ems the stopped-up, inactive kidneys,
so they can filter all the poison from
the blood, and drive it ON and out OF
the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful
medicine ever mado for curing chron-
&c rheumatism, kidney troubles. and
bladder disorders. You will find II
different from all other remedies.
There is nothing else on earth like L.
II matters not how old you are. or
how long you have suffered, II is
practically impossible to take 1t into
the human system without results.
You will find relief from the first few
doses, and you will be surprised how
quickly all your misery and suffering
will end.
An original package OF Croxone
costs but trihe at any rrst-class
drug store. such as that Of \. B. Dan
forth. All druggists are authorized
to sell it on a positive money-back
guarantee. Three doses a day for A
few days Is often all that is ever
needed to cure the worst backache or
overcome urinary disorders.
