Uric acid in meat excites the kid
neys, they become overworked; get
sluggish, ache and feel like Jumps OF
lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the
bladder is irritated two or three times
during the night. When the kidneys
clog you must help them flush OFF the
body's urinous waste or you'll be a
real sick person shortly. AT first you
feel dull misery in the kidney re-
gion, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu-
matte twinges when the weather Ia
bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table,
spoonful in a glass Of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This IA
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with li1hia and has been used for gen.
erations to clean clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to normal activity.
also TO neutralize the acids in urine.
SO IT no longer is a source of irrita-
ton. thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then TO keep the
kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lots Of Jad Salts TO
folks who believe in overcoming kid
ney trouble while it is only trouble.
