MAKES RHEUMATISM
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
Chronic, Crippled-up Sufferers
Find Relief After Few Doses
Of New Remedy are
Taken

It Is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out of shape with its
heart-wrenching pains, when you can
surely avoid it.
Rheumatism comes from weak, in
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood, the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid; and it is useless to
rub on liniments or take ordinary
remedies to relieve the pain. This
only prolongs the misery and can't
possibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
is to remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone. does this because it
neutralizes and dissolves all the poi
sonous substances and uric acid that
scratch and initiate and cause rheu-
matism. and cleans out and strength
ems the stopped-up, inactive kidneys,
so they can filter all the poisons from
the blood and drive it on and out Of
the system.
Croxone Is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for curing chron-
ic rheumatism, kidney troubles. and
bladder disorders. You will find ii
different from all other remedies.
There is nothing else on earth like it.
1t matters not how old you are, or
how long you have suffered, it is
practically impossible to take it into
the human system without results.
You will find relief from the first few
doses. and you will be surprised how
quickly all your misery and suffering
will end.
An original package of Croxone
costs but trifle at any first-classl
drug store. All druggists are au-
thorized to sell it on positive moneys
back guarantee. Three doses day
for few days is often all that is
ever needed to cure the worst back
ache or overcome urinary disorders,

w. l. Cooper and his wife and broth

the morning at $40 and motored to
Fort Madison where they were Joined
by Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Foggy. The
party intended to drive over to w. F.
CoOper's farm near Lomax. Shortly
before o'clock they approached the
bridge and assembled the incline up to
the toll house where the vehicles
must cross over to the west side of
the bridge to go to the Illinois side Of
the river. w. L. Cooper was driving
and when he stopped the machine the
rear part was on the tracks and he
did not hear Tom Morrissey, the toll
man. when he warned him to hurry
up as the train was coming.
Engine Fails to Work.
A few moments before Mr.. Cooper
had completed making change with
the toll man he heard the train ap-
preaching and attempted to start his
machine to get 1t off the track. The
engine failed to respond and the car
remained immovable while the occu-
pants frantically tried to get out OF
the auto. Mrs. W.. l.. Cooper and w.
F. Cooper succeeded in getting out
before the crash, but Mr.. Foggy and
his wife and W. L. Cooper were I'M
able to escape. The catch on the
front door Of the car stuck and pre-
vented Mr. Foggy and the driver
from escaping.
The engine struck the rear OF the
car, raising 1t high in the air and
finally swung it completely around, so
that when it stopped 1t was facing
north instead OF south, the way 1t
was headed at the time Of the acci-
dent. The machine struck the end
of the railing leading onto the
bridge which gave 1. swing toward
the west, and then crashed into a
shed about fifteen feet further down
the track. This shed was probably
all that saved the party from instant
death or drowning as it stands on
the west side Of the track on the
edge of the high embankment over
the river. The force Of the impact
moved the shed several feet and also
turned II around considerably.

Mr.. Bowker had come to Fort Madi-

early in the morning to secure load
of feed. After getting his wagon
filed with the stock food he drove to
the feed yard opposite the Metropoli-

he and his daughter returned to the

In order to prevent the wagon from
running against the horses when the
rear part came on the curb, the driver
leaned over to put on the brakes. AS
the seat on tho wagon was wobbly
and the rear wheels came over the
curb at the same time Mr.. Bowker
leaned over, the lurch threw him from

was rendered unconscious. His Gaugh-
