IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat Less Meat and Take a Glass of
Salts to Flush Out Kidneys—
Drink Plenty Water.
Uric acid in meat excites the kid
neys they become overworked; get
sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of
lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the
bladder is irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the
kidneys clog you must help them flush
off the body’s urinous waste or you’ll
b? a real sick person shortly. At first
you feel a dull misery in the kidney
region, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel
rheumatic twinges when the weather
is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fam
ous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
so it no longer is a source of irrita
tion, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent I
lithia-water drink which everyone j
should take now and then to keep the*
kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to [
i folks who believe in overcoming kid
! ney trouble while it is onl trouble.

t Summer Wisdom
In the sizzly times ahead “How to Dress” is
half the problem of “How to Live.”
Your body,over heated and fretted in woolly
clothes, cannot do a fair day’s work.
Palm Beach is the logical wear for these f un
baked days.
It washes as readily as Fine linen.
It invites the bieezes and subdues the sun.
Cool, porous and sightly—it offers the sane
solution to men seeking summer ease and
comfort.
For the street, the office, the club—for shore
or country—Palm Beach is the Ideal Summer
