Eating meat regularly eventually pro-

cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become ovefworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress. particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic
twinges, severe headaches. acid stom-
ach, constipation, torpid liver, sleep
lessness, bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back h'uts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or il bladder
bothers you. get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy:
take a tablespoonful in 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 combined with
