IF BACK HURTS

Ii Mixed With Sulphur 1t DarkenS
So Naturally Nobody Can Tell.

The old-time mixture of Sag Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked
and faded hair is grandmother's treat
ment, and folks are again using it 10
keep their hair a good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as we are liv-
ing in an age when a youthful appear
ance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct called ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound for about so cents a bottle.
1t is very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your comb or a soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that,
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications 1t also pro-
duces that soft lustre and appearance
of abundance which is so attractive;
besides, prevents dandruff, itching
scalp and falling hair. Hooks Phar-

Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally If
You Eat Meat Regularly.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
we'll known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which clogs the kidney pores so
they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from the
blood, then you get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, constipation, dizziness,
sleeplessness, bladder disorders, come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache il
the kidneys or your back hurts, or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full Of
sediment, irregular of passage, or at
tended by sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts froin
any reliable pharmacy and take tab
lespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys win then act fine. This fam
GUS salts is made from the acid Of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used foc
generation to flush clogged kidneys AMI
stimulate them to activity, also TO
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take nov
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications. Hooks
