BACKACHE VANISHES
RHEUMATIC PAINS GO
Few Doses of Croxone Ease Stiff,
Sore, Swollen Joints and Mus
cles, Relieving Backache
and Bladder Disorders.

II you suffer with backache-have
pains in the neck or sides-nervous or
dizzy spells-a few doses Of Croxone
will relieve the congestion and you
will be surprised how quickly all kid
ney, bladder and rheumatic troubles
will disappear.
Croxone promptly relieves these dis
eases because it really does reach the
real cause. 1t soaks right into the
walls and Innings of the kidneys, cleans
out the stoppedup inactive organs.
neutralizes and dissolves the uric acid
and makes the kidneys sift from the
blood the waste and poisonous matter
that lodge in the joints and muscles
to scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism. 1t soothes and heals the deli
cate Innings Of the bladder and gives
the kidneys renewed strength SO they
can filter the blood and keep you well.
Croxone is different from all other
remedies. 1t is so prepared that it is
practically impossible to take 1t with
out results. An original package of
Croxone costs but a trifle, and all
druggists are authorized to return the
purchase price IL It should fail In q
single case-Ady.

April IA, 1909, Gotch met and de-
feated Yussif Mahmout, Bulgarian, at
the Dexter Park pavilion in Chicago.
1t was one of the great battles OF the
world champions career. Although
the match lasted less than half an
hour vastly more wrestling of the
strenuous kind was packed into 1t
than in the championship battle be-
tween Hackenschmidt and Gotch.
Mahmout had defeated every wres-
tier of prominence except Gotch in
America. He had proved whirlwind
against such wrestlers as Cutler.
Americus and Beell. Gotch knew he
was to face a dangerous wrestler OF
the aggressive type. He knew Nah
mout possessed great strength and
unusual endurance. The worlds cham
pion objected to the Bulgarian's wres-
Ting in his bare feet. Anton Pierri.
Mahmout's manager, explained that 1t
was customary for wrestlers to crap
pie in their bare feet in Bulgaria and
Turkey The Turk finally consented
to forfeit $500 for this infraction OF
the rules.
Gotch had trained faithfully for this
match, realizing that he was to be op-
posed by foe of exceptional class
and as game as any wrestler who
ever stepped on the padded canvas
Constant drill on the mat and long
sprints on the road had put him in
splendid condition.
When the referee called time, Gotch
backed away from his corner, wheeled
about with a determined look on his
face and rushed into the referee hold
with the Bulgarian. Mahmout seemed
a trifle nervous.
Gotch rushed in with the evident
intent of making short work of his
opponent. He pulled Mahmout for
ward with head hold and the Bull
garian looked worried. Gotch tried
for an arm hold, but Mahmout ducked
away. The wrestlers milled it in fast
fashion There was plenty of action
Mahmout rushed for leg hold but
