Mr. Comstock.

“Take it away immediately cr 1 shall

The picture came out. but was re

No one ran be well and healthy
unless the kidneys work properly
and keep the blood pure. When (
they become clogged up and inac
tive. nature has a way of warning
you.
Backache is one of the first
symptoms. You may also he troubled
with disagreeable, annoying bladder
disorders: have attacks of lumbago
or rheumatism, become nervoua,
tired, and feel all worn out; puffy
swellingB show under the eyes ©r in
the feet and ankles; and many other
symptoms are noticed. If they are
neglected, dropsy, diabetes, or
Bright’s disease. which so often
prove fatal, may result.
It is not only dangerous, but need
less, for you to suffer and endure
the tortures of these troubles, for
the new discovery, Croxone, quick
ly and surely ends all such misery.
There is no more effective rem
edy known for the prompt cure of all
such troubles than this new scientific
preparation, because it removes the
cause. It soaks right into the kid-
nevs, through the walls and linings:
cleans out the clogged-up pores;
neutralizes and dissolves thu poison
ous uric acid and waste matter that
lodge in the joints and muscles and
cause those terrible rheumatic pains,
and makes the kidneys filter and sift
the poison out of the blood and drive
it from the system.
You will find Croxone different from ]
all other remedies. It is so prepared
that it D practically impossible, to
take it into the human system with
out results.
An original package of Croxone costs
but a trilie. and all druggists are
authorized to personally return the
purchase price if Croxone should
fail in a single case H'hree doses
a dav for a few days is often all that
is ever needed to cure the worst
backache, relieve rheumatic pains,
overcome urinary disorders.
