MAKES BACKACHE
QUICKLY DISAPPEAR
A Few Doses Relieves All Such
Miseries. Bladder Weakness,
Kidney Trouble and Rheu-
matism Promptly Vanish

1t is no longer necessary for any
one to suffer with backaching, kid
ney trouble, have disagreeable blad-
der and urinary disorders to contend
with, or be tortured with rheuma-
tism, stiff joints, and its heart
wrenching pains, for the new discov-
cry, Croxone, quickly and surely re.
tleves all such troubles.
Croxone is the most wonderful
remedy yet devised for Kidding the
system of uric acid and driving out
all the poisonous impurities which
cause such troubles. 1t is entirely
different from all other remedies. It
IS not like anything else ever used
tor the purpose. 1t acts on the prin-
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.
1t matters not how long you have
suffered, how old you are, or what
you nave used, the very principle of
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. 1t
starts to work the minute you take it
and relieves you the first time you
use it.
If you suffer with pains in your
back and sides, or have any signs of
kidney bladder troubles, or rheuma-
tism, such as puffy swellings under
the eyes or in the feet and ankles, if
you are nervous, tired, and run down,
or bothered with urinary disorders,
Croxone will quickly relieve you of
your misery. You can secure an orig
insl package of Croxone at trihing
cost from any frst-class druggist.
All druggists are authorized to per
sonally return the purchase price if it
fails in a single case.
