TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat il you feel Sackachy

trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which eNcite5
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular caters of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You mus.
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 back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is
bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full of sediment; tie
channels often set irritated, obligins
you to get up two or three times
during the night
TO neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off 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, comDined Il
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys and stop bladder
irritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive,
harmless and makes a delightful ef-
fervescent lithia water drink which
millions of men and women take
now and then, thus avoiding seriols
kidney and bladder diseases.
