When you wake up with back ache and dull misery in the kid ney region it may mean you have been eating foods which create acids, says a well known author ity. An excess of such acicls overwork the Kidneys in their ef fort to filter it from the blood . and they become sort of paralyz ed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels, removing all the body’s urinous waste, else you have back ache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coatted and when the weather is bad, you have rheumatic twin ges. The urine is cloudy, full of sedi ment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before break fast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine, This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the system, so they no longer irritate thus aften relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, can not injure and makes a delightful, ef fervescent lithia water drink. Drink lots of soft water.
