MEAT INJURIOUS

Take a tablespoonful of Salts it
Back hurts or Bladder
bothers.

We are d nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
o 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 eliminative 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, sleepl essness, acid
stomach or rheumatism in bad wealth
er, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad salts; take
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast each morning and in
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemo-- juice, COM
bined 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 urf-
nary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-wat drink, and nobody
can make a mistake by taking little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean
