cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four, ounces of Jad Salts !;
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the acid
