'partly repeIled." French claims to
progress in Belgium are denied in
Berlin, where it is said that the Brit

hands Of the Germans.
The German staff reports no de-
velopments in the east, saying merely
that the fighting is continuing. The
French statement, however, asserts
that the Russians are pressing for

across the east Prussian frontier, but
admits that the Germans have made
progress in the fighting in Poland to

The official communication from
Petrograd in the same breath admits
that the Russians have been compeIl-

states that the German attacks have

one to suffer with backaching, kid

with, or be tortured with rheuma-

ciple of cleaning out the poisons and
removing the cause
1t soaks right in through the walls,
membranes and Innings, like water in
a sponge, neutralizes, dissolves, and
makes the kidneys sift out and filter
away, all the uric acid and poisons
from the blood, and leaves the kid
neys and urinary organs clean,
strong, healthy and we'll.
It matters not how long you HAYS
suffered, how old you are, or what
you nave uSeu, the very principle or
Croxone is such, that it is practically
impossible to take it into the human
system without results. There is
nothing else on earth like it. II
