Backache Is

Kidney Troubles, Bladder Dis
orders. Rheumatism, and
Serious Diseases Follow.

There are other symptoms, such
as pains in the region of the kidneys,
nervousness, dizziness. tired and
worn-out feeling. weak bladder, pain
full, scaldy, or urinary troubles, which
are Just as dangerous, for the slight
est kidney. arrangement If neglected
may develop into the deadly Bright's
Disease, Dropsy, or Diabetes
1t is not only dangerous, but need
less, for you to suffer, and endure
the tortures Of these troubles, for the
new discovery, Croxone, quickly and
surely ends all such misery.
There is no more effective remedy
known for the cure of kidney, blad-
der trouble, and rheumatism, than
this new scientific preparation, be-
cause it removes the cause. It 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 lodges in the joints
and muscles and cause those terrible
rheumatic pains, and. makes the kid
neys filter the poison from the blood
and drives it out of the system.
Three doses of CroXone a day, for
a few days is often all that is ever
needed to cure the worst backache
or overcome disagreeable urinary
disorders. and you can take it with
the utmost confidence that nothing
on earth will so quickly overcome the
worst case of kidney, bladder trouble,
or rheumatism.
You will find Croxone different
from all other remedies. There is
nothing else like it. 1t is so prepared
that 1t is practically impossible to
take it into the human system with
out results. An original package
costs but trifie at any first class
drug store. All druggists are author
lied to personally return the purchase

gle case.---Advertisemen
