Even Most Chronic Sufferers
Find Relief After A Few
Doses Are Taken

Backache, urinary disorders, and
rheumatism, are caused from weak,
inactive kidneys, which fail to filter
out the impurities and keep the blood
pure, and the only way on earth to
permanently and positively cure such
troubles, is to remove the cause.
The new discovery, Croxone, cures
such conditions because it reaches
the very roots of the disease. 1t
soaks right into the stopped up, in
active kidneys, through the walls and
Innings; cleans out the little fltering
cells and glands; neutralizes and dis
solves the poisonous uric acid sub
stances that lodge in the joints and
muscles to scratch and irritate and
cause rheumatism; it neutralizes the
urine so it no longer irritates the
tender membranes of the bladder,
and cleans. out and strengthens the
stopped up, lifeless kidneys so they
filter and sift all the poisons from

the blood, and drive it out of the
system.
So sure, so positive, so quick and
lasting, are the results obtained from
the use of Croxone, that three doses
day for a few days are often all
that is required to cure the worst
case of backache, regulate the most
annoying bladder disorders, and over
come the numerous other similar
conditions.
1t is tie most wonderful prepara-
ton ever MADE for the purpose. 1t
is entirely different from all other
remedies. There is nothing else on
earth to compare with it. 1t is SO
prepared that it is practically impos-
sible to take it into the human sys-
tenn without results.
You can obtain an original package
of Croxone at trifing cost from any
frst-class drug store All druggists
are authorized to personally return
the purchase price if Croxone fails to
give desired results, regardless of
how old you are, how long you have
suffered, or what else has failed to
cure you.

FOR HIS OWN MEN
Fires Two of aCrranza's Friends
Results of Intrigues.

Ell Paso, May 5.-Gen. Manuel Chao
has been removed as Constitutional
ist governor of Chihaunau by Gen.
Francisco Villa. News of the change
in executive reached the border to-

the result of an intrigue against Villa
by Chao in an effort to have the con-
queror OF Torreon replaced as gen
eral in cafef Of the army.
Trinidad Rodriguez has been named
governor and Gen. Chao mas been or
dered TO report at the froat beyond

Silvestro Terrazas, who .aas been sec
retary of State for Chihauhau, a close
friend of Chao, also was removed and
has been succeeded by Augustin
Labanstadt, formerly inspector Of po-
lice.
Chao and Terrazas, who is not con-
nected with the rich federal family
Of that name, are regarded as being
closely aligned with Gen. Carraaza,
while :heir successors are friends of
Villa.
Conscitutiosalis representatives
here deny that tie removal of Chao
indicated strained relation between
Carranza and Villa. but say i. indi-
ca -es the relations between them are
so close that not eve2 personal
friendship Of Carranza for C3ao could
produce a break.
Constituencies here assert tha;
Gen. Carranza himself warned Chao
that unless he curbed his tongue he
would find trouble. Il is reported that
Villa frs. selected Gen. Ortega as
Chaos successor but finally decided
that Ortega's ability as a fighting man
and leader made his presence at the
front imperative

agent Of Gen. Carranza, went 20
