MEAT INJURIOUS

if Back Hurts or Bladder
B0therS

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a well-known authority, who warns
us to be constantly on guard against
kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork;
they get sluggish: the ellminative
tissues clog. and thus the waste is
retained in the blood to poison the
entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps OF lead, and you have
singing pains in the back or the
urine is cloudy. full Of sediment, or
the bladder is irritable. obliging you
to seek relief during the night; when
you have severe headaches. nervous
and dizzy spells. sleeplessness. acid

er, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts: take
tablespoonful In glass of water be-
fore breakfast each morning and in a
few days your kidneys will 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 and stimulate
clogged kidneys. to neutralize the
acids in urine so 1t is no longer a
source OF irritation, thus ending uri-
nary and bladder disorders.

not injure; makes q delightful effer-
