If BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush Your Kidneys Occa-
sionally if You Eat Meat
Regularly.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
so they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, backaches, liver trou-
Bile, nervousness, constipation, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidney or your back hurts or
if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular of passage, or
attended by sensation of scalding,
get about four ounces OF Jad Salts
from any reliable pharmacy and take
q tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys VIII then act fine. This ia
nous salts Is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice. combined with
lithia and has been used for genera
tons TO flush closged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity. also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so 1t no long
er causes irritation. thus ending blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure. thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

Garrick in London and was shown into
his study. Unfortunately, a door be-
ing open, he strayed into an adjoining
room, which contained the novels and
lighter works which had been present

actor. Johnson first read a bit from
enc and then another and threw them
down. strewing the floor with the eX-
