TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat if You Feel Back
achy or Have Bladder
Trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys, in their eff
forts to filter It from the system. Reg
ular eaters of meat must flush the kid
neys OCCASIONALLY. You must relieve
them like you relieve your bowels;
removing all the acids. waste and
poison, else you feel a dull misery
in the kidney region, sharp pains in
the baca or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the leather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full OF sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the night
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush OF the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy: take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. 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 sluggish kidneys and
stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is in
expensive; harmless and makes a de-
lightful effervescent Whitewater drink
which millions OF men and women
take now and then. thus avoiding SER
ious kidney and bladder Diseases

He was reputed to be worth close to
81 ,000, 900 when he was defeated in his
fight for election as member in con-

his friends and police records are fill
ed with their complaints. After his
release from Auburn prison, he was a
preacher and school teacher. AS a
teacher he went to Zion City. 1t was
