GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
IF YOUR BACK HURTS OR BLAD.
DER BOTHERS YOU, DRINK
LOTS OF WATER.

When you kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal &C.
tivity. The function of the kidneys
is to filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast each morning
for a few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged Kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.

pense with them. You may be one Of
these, and it is your duty to save your
eyes before it is too late. The eyes are
neglected more than any other organ
of the entire body. After you finish
your days work you sit down and rest
your muscles, but how about your
eyes? Do you rest them? You know
you do not. You read or do something
else that keeps your eyes busy; you
work your eyes until you go to bed.
That is why so many have strained
eyes and finally other eye troubles that
threaten partial or total blindness
Eyeglasses are merely crutches; they
never cure. This free prescription.
which has benefited the eyes of so
many, may work equal wonders for
you. Use 1t short time. Would you
like your eye troubles to disappear as
If by magic? Try this prescription.
Go to the nearest wideawake drug
store and get bottle of DIPLOMA tab
let's; fill two-ounce bottle with warm
water, drop in one tablet and allow it
to thoroughly dissolve. With this II.
guild battle the eyes two to four times
daily. Just note how quickly your eyes
clear up and how soon the inflammation
will disappear. Don't be afraid to use
it; it is absolutely harmless. Many
who are now blind might have saved
their eyes had they started to care
for them in time. This is a simple
treatment, but marvelously effective in
multitudes of cases. Now that you
have been warned don't delay a day.
