IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is Sign You Have Bee /
Eating Too Much Meat.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region il
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says well known au-
thority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they
become sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
do your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste; else you have
backache, sick stomach and dizzy
spells; your stomach sours, tongue is
coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full of sediment, chan
nels often get sore, water scalds and
you are obliged to seek relief two or
three times during the night
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in glass of wa.
ter before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then 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 clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralizo
acide in the urine so it no longer ir-
ritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regu-
lar meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive,
cannot injure and makes delightful,
