BACKACHE IS
A DANGER SIGNAL
Kidney Troubles, Bladder Disorders
Rheumatism, and Serious Dis
eases Follow.

There are other symptoms, such as
pains in the region of the kidneys, nerv-
BUSINESS, dizziness, tired and worn-out
feeling, weak bladder, painful, scaldy, or
urinary troubles, which are Just as dan
yerous, for the slightest kidney derange-
nent if neglected may develop into the
ieadly Bright's Disease, Dropsy or Dia-
,etes
It is not only dangerous, but needless,
lor you to suffer and endure the tortures
,f these troubles, for the new discov-
sry, Croxone, quickly and surely ends all
uch misery.
There is no more effective remedy
known for the cure of kidney. bladder
trouble and rheumatism, than this new
scientific preparation, because it removes
.he cause. It soaks right into the kid
leys, through the walls and Innings,
,leans out the clogged-up pores, neutral
yes and dissolves the poisonous uric acid
and waste matter, that lodges in the
Ioints and muscles and cause those ter
fiblc rheumatic pains, and makes the
kidneys filter the poison from the blood
and drives it out of the system.
Three doses of Croxone day, for a
few days is often all that is ever needed
10 cure the worst backache or overcome
iissgreeable urinary disorders, and you
,an take it with the utmost confidence
that nothing on earth will so quickly
overcome the worst case of kidney, blad'
der trouble. or rheumatism.
You will find Croxone different from
all other remedies. There is nothing
Else like it: II is so prepared that il
i practically impossible to take it into
he human system without results. An
original package costs but a triie al
any first-class drug store. All drug
yists are authoized to personally retuu
the purchase price if Croxone shoul'
.ail in a single case.
