Drives Rheumatic Pains Away,
Relieves Backache and Blad-
der Disorders After A
Few Doses Are
Taken

Sleep disturbing bladder weak
nesses, backache, rheumatism, and
the many other kindred ailments
which so commonly come with declin-
ing years, need no longer be a source
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. It
soaks right into the kidneys, through
the walls and Innings; cleans out the
little tiltering 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
and muscles, causing rheumatism;
and makes the kidneys filter and sift
out all the poisonous waste matter

All Honor to the SAFETY Firsts.'
Professor Perkins Of the University
OF Manchester, England, after years OF
experiment has just found a way to
make cotton cloth tireproof, and this
without injuring either Its appearances
or its wearing quality, Before the
association Of cotton manufacturers,
held the second week in October, 1913,
the professor exhibited some speci-
mems Of his cloth that had been
washed at least ten times since be-
ing treated and had been in actual use
two years. After repeated trials it
was found impossible to make the
pieces of cotton burn. This invention
is very important because it is ex-
pected to save many lives. Girls in
factories have been frequently burned
to death by their clothes made Of light
cotton fabrics catching fire.
