QUIT MEAT If YOUR
K.DNEYS ACT BADLY
Take tablespoonful Of Salts if Back
hurts or Bladder
bothers.

We are a nation OF meat eaters and
our blood is filed with uric acid, says
well-known authority, who warns us
to be constantly on guard against kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood Of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the oye.work; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kindneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine Is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to sack
relief during the night: when you
have severe headaches, nervous and
dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stom-
ach or rh sumatism in bad weather,
get from your pharmacist ahcut four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon Juice, combined with
lithia, and has bsen used for genera
tons to flush and stimulate clogged
kidneys. to neutralize the acids In
