The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of .Tad Salts from any r reliable pharmacy and take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few- days, and your kid neys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia. ami has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also t-» neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disor ders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink, which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.—Advt.
