If KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache Is Sign You
Have Been Eating Too
Much Meat.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well known
authority. 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
relieve your bowels: removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache. sick headache. 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. channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a 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 neutral
ize acids in the urine so IL no longer
:rritates, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive. cannot
