KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a Glass of Salts if Your
Back Hurts or Bladder

No man or woman who eats meat reg
ularly can make a mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, gays a well-
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which excites the kidneys, they become
overworked from the strain, get slug
gish ami fall to filter the waste and
poisons from the blood, then we get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headache,
liver troub e. nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache In
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is clouoy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at-
tctided by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a
table-spoonful m a glass of water before
breakfast and in a few days your kid-
reys will act tine. This famous salts
1s made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate the kidneys, also to neu
tralize the acids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
