Flush the Kidneys at once when Back
achy or Bladder bothers—Meat
forms uric acid.
No man or woman who eats meat regu
larly can make a mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says a well
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which clogs the kidney pores so they
•luggiahly filter or strain only part of
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then you get sick. Nearly all rheuma
tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous
ness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders oome from sluggish kid
neys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts, or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of Sedi
ment, irregular of passage or attended
by a sensation of scalding, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable
pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu
tralize the acids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder dis
orders.
Jad Balts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer
vescent lithia-water drink which all reg
ular meat eaters should take now and
then to keep the kidneys dean and th#
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kid
ney complications.
