Sleep disturbing bladder weak
nesses, backache, rheumatism, and
the many other kindred ailments
which so commonly come with declin-

of dread and misery TO those who are
past the middle age of life.
The new discovery, Croxone, over
comes all such disorders because it re-
moves the very cause of the trouble. 1t
soaks right into the kidneys, through
the walls and Innings; cleans out the
little filtering glands and cells, and
gives the kidneys new strength to do
their work properly. 1t neutralizes
and dissolves the poisonous uric acid
substances that lodge in the joints
ands muscles, causing rheumatism;
and makes the kidneys filter and sift
out all the poisonous waste matter

the system.
1t matters not how old you are or
how long you have suffered, Croxone
is so prepared that it is practically
impossible to take it into the human
system without results. You will find
it different from all other remedies.
There is nothing else on earth like
it. 1t starts to work Immediately
and more than a few doses are sell
dom required to relieve even the
most chronic, obstinate cases.
1t is the most wonderful remedy
ever made for restoring the lifeless
organs to health and strength and
Kidding the system of every particle
OF uric acid, and you can take it with
the utmost confidence that nothing
on earth will so quickly cure such
conditions.
You can obtain an original pack

any first-class druggist. All druggists
are authorized to personally return
the purchase price if Croxone should

DON'T GROW BALD
Use Partisan Sage .

If your hair is getting thin, losing its
natural color, or has that matted, life
less and scraggy appearance, the rea-
son is evident-dandruff and failure to
keep the hair roots properly nour-
ished.
Partisan Sage applied daily for
week and then occasionally is all that
is needed. 1t removes dandruff with
one application; almost Immediately
stops falling hair and itching head;
invigorates the scalp and makes dull,
stringy hair soft. abundant and radi-
ant with life. Equally good for men,
women or children - every one needs
it.
A large bottle of this delightful hair
tonic can be had from G.. A. Parcher or
any drug counter for so cents. You will
surely like Partisan Sage. There is no
other "Just- as- good" it now.
