WHEN BACK ACHES, WATCH KIDNEYS! If Negleted Serious Diseases May Follow. When the kidneys are clogged Hp and inactive, Nature always warns you. Backache is one of the first symp toms. You may also be troubled with disagreeable, annoying bladder or urin ary disorders; have attacks of lumbago or rheumatism; become nervous, tired. or feel all worn out; puffy swellings show under the eyes, or In the feet and ankles; or the urine becomes light and pale, dark-colcfred or cloudy. If such symptoms are neglected, dropsy, dia betes or Bright's ' disease, which so often prove fatal, may result. It is not only dangerous but needless for you to suffer and endure the tor tures of these troubles, when a little Crozone will quickly and surely end all such misery. There is no more effective remedy known for the prompt relief and cure of such troubles, because It cleans out the clogged up kidneys and makes them work properly. It soaks right in through the walls and linings; cleans out the little filtering cells and glands, neutralizes and dissolves the poisonous uric acid and waste matter, and makes the kidneys filter and sift the poisons from the blood and drive it out of the system. This new, scientific preparation is entirely different from other remedies. It is so quick-acting and effective that it is practically impossible to take it without results. An original package costs but a trifle, and all druggists are authorized to 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 end the worst backache; -Relieve rheumatic painp or overcome sleep-disturbing urinary disorders. Adv.
