MAKES RHEUMATISM
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
Chronic, Crippled-up Sufferers
Find Relief After Few Doses
of New Remedy are

1t is needless to suffer any Longer;
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out of shape with it,
heart-wrenching pains, when you can
surely avoid it.
Rheumatism comes from weak, in-
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood, the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid; and it is useless to
rub on Eniments 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 il
neutralizes and dissolves all the poi
sonous substances and uric acid that
lodge in the joints and muscles, to
scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism, and cleans out and strength.
ems the stopped-up, inactive kidneys,
so they can filter all the poisons from
the blood and drive it on and out Of
the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for curing chron-
ic rheumatism, kidney troubles, and
bladder disorders. You will find it
different from all other remedies.
There is nothing else on earth like it.
1t matters not how old you are, or
how long you have suffered, it IS
practically impossible to take it 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 a trife at any hrst-class
drug store. All druggists are au-
thorized to sell it on a positive money
back guarantee. Three doses day
for a few days is often all that is
ever needed to cure the worst back,
ache or overcome urinary disorders.

than the damage of the December
floods, there being about fifteen or
twenty bridges washed away in the
northeastern part of the county, and
only about one-half of the county has
been heard from. The roads all over
the county have been washed worse
than they have been in sometime. but
II is hoped that the damage is not as
great as is reported. Forces will be
