Backache Is
a Danger Signal
Kidney Troubles, Bladder Dis
orders, Rheumatism, and
Serious Diseases Follow.
There are other symptoms, such
as pains in the region of the kidneys,
nervousness, dizziness, tired and
worn-out feeling, weak bladder, pain
ful, ecaldy, or urinary troubles, which
are just as dangerous, for the slight
est kidney , derangement if neglected
may develop into the deadly Bright's
Disease, Dropsy, or Diabetes.
It is not only dangerous, but need
iest for you to suffer, and endure
the tortures of these troubles, for the
Jiew discovery, Croxone, quickly and
eurely ends all such misery.
There is no more effective remedy
known for the cure of kidney, blad
der trouble, and rheumatism, than
this new scientific preparation, be
cause it removes the cause. It soaks
right into the kidneys, through the
walls and linings, cleans out the
clogged-up pores, neutralizes and dis
eolves the poisonous uric acid and
waste matter, that lodges in the joints
und muscles and cause those terrible
rheumatic pains, and makes the kid
neys filter the poison from the blood
and drives it out of the system.
Three doses of Croxone a day, for
r few days is often all that is ever
needed to cure the worst backache
or overcome disagreeable urinary
disorders, and you can take it with
the utmost confidence that nothing
on earth will so quickly overcome the
worst case of kidney, bladder trouble,
or rheumatism.
You will find Croxone different
from all other remedies. There is
nothing else like it. It is so prepared
that it is practically impossible to
take it Into the human system with
out results. An original package
costs but a trifle at any first class
drug store. All druggists are author
ized to personally return the purchase
price if Croxone should fail in a sin
gle case.—Advertisement.

FRESH AIR AND HEALTH
* Mental work calls an unusual suppl)
of blood to the brain; the process of
digestion calls the blood to the stom
ach. Brain work immediately after a
hearty meal often causes Indigestion
because the brain has first call on a
supply of blood that should be helping
the stomach.
Wherever, in the economy of the
body, work is to be done there is a de
mand for bright, red blood. Thin
blood or blood dark with impurities
will not do because it is the oxygen
carried by the blood that does the
work and oxygen-bearing blood is
bright and red. This life-sustaining
oxygen is taken up by the blood from
the air which It meets In the lungs.
Hence the great need of fresh air
every hour of the day and night. But
fresh air is useless if the blood cannot
take up the oxygen which it gives.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills enable the
blood to take up more oxygen because
they Increase the part of the blood
that carries the oxygen. This corrects
the lassitude, palpitation of the heart,
shaky nerves and the pallor that are
the results of thin, impure blood.
You must ".have pure, rich blood to
enjoy complete health. A booklet,
"Building Up the Blood," will be sent
free on request by the Dr. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady. N. Y. All
druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
