MAKES YOUR BACKACHE
QUICKLYJISAPPEAR
A Few Doses Relieves All Such
Miseries. Bladder Weakness,
Kidney Trouble and Rheu
matism Promptly Vanish.
It Is no longer necessary for any one
to suffer with backochlng, kidney trouble,
have disagreeable bladder and urinary
disorders to contend with, or to be tor
tured with rheumatism, stiff Joints, and
Us heart-wrenching pains, ror tne now
discovery, Croxone, quickly and surely
relieves all such troubles.
Croxone Is. the most wonderful remedy
yet devised for ridding the system of
urlo acid and driving out all the poleon
ous Impurities which cause such troubles,
It la entirely different from all other
remedies. It Is not like anything else
ever used for the purpose. It acts on the
principle of cleaning out the poison and
removing tho cause.
It soaks right in through the walls,
membraiKE and linings, like water In
sponge, neutralizes, dissolves, and maksj
the kidneys sift out and filter away, all
tho urlo acid and poisons from the blood
and leaves 4he kidneys and urinary or
gans clean, strong, healthy and well.
It matters not how long you hav-i
Buffered, how olo you are. or what you
have used, tho vfery principle of Croxone
Is such, that It is practically Impossible
to take It Into the human system with
out results. Thero Is nothing else on
earth like It. It starts to work the
minute ypu take It and relieves you th
first timo you use It.
If you suffer with pains In your back
and sides, or have any signs of kidney
bladder troubles, or rheumatism, such as
paffy swellings under the eyes or In th
tctt and ankles. If you are nervous, tired,
ar.ii run down, or bothered with urinary
d'sorderc. Croxone will quickly relievo
w : of your misery. You can seoure an
o-lsTlnal package of Croxone at trlflln
i .it from any first-class druggist. All

Omaha Invites All

CO-OPERATION IS URGED
FOR LOCAL CREDIT MEN
Tho Omaha Bctall Credit Men's associa
tion had Its regular monthly meeting last
night In the- banquet room of tho Hen
shaw hotel.
J. H. Dlskln, vlco president of tho or
ganization, .acted ns toastmaster and
dwelt for n few moments upon the be-
ginning of the association. He dealt
plainly with the vicissitudes that had al
ready been overcome and believed that
much good was to be finally accom
plished.
The principal speaker of tho evening
was Owen B. Parker of Minneapolis, sec
retary of the Betall Credit Men's Nu
tlonal association. Touching upon h?
needs of local associations he showed that
above all thero must first, bo co-opora-
tlon; second, an exchange ot confidence
nnd third, a working out of mutual bene
fits. All credit men have similar
troubles and by helping each other they
very naturally help themselves. Th
faster they unite to eliminate the unde
sirables from the community In which
they are working so much better It will
be for their final welfare. Not only
that, but they will Improve the general
tone ot credit and slnco business Is largely
built up of credits they consequently ad
vance It In exact proportion.
Coming back to the national associa
tion, Mr. Parker cited Instances of the
benefit that accrued from Its broader
scope. By combining tho local forces
Into one big national affair you then have
power that Is worth while. It will
help legislators In making laws which will
take away a good deal of the speculation
that often goes with accounts.
