Backache is one of the symptoms. You may alsq be troubled with disagreeable, annoying bladder disorders; have attacks of lumbago rheumatism: become nervous, tired, and feel all worn out; puffy swellings show under the eyes or 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 scipntific preparation, because it removes the cause. It soaks right into the kid neys. through the walls and linings; cleans out the clogged-up pores; neutralizes and dissolves the 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. !t is so prepared that it is practically impossible to take It into the human system with out results. An original package of Croxone costs but a trifle, and all druggists are authorized to personally return the purchase price if Croxone should fail in a single case. Three doses a day for a few days is often all that is ever needed to cure the worst backache, relieve rheumatic pains, or overcome urinary disorders. 1ECATU R of the will present.
