MEAT INJURIOUS
To The KIDNEYS
Take Tablespoonful of Salts If Back
Hurts or Bladder BOthers.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
well known authority, who warns us
to be constantly on guard against kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to fir se
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog, and thus the waste is retained il
the blood poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder
is irritable, obliging you to seek re-
lief during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous, dizzy spells,
sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheu-
mat1sm In bad weather, get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast each morn
ing and in few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to
neutralize the acids in urine so it IS
no longer source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink and nobody can
make mistake by taking a little oc-
casionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active. Hooks Pharmacy.
