SALTS # BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots Of water and stop eating
meat for while if your Bladder
troubles you. 81

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gem
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter Il
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; re-
moving 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 good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. 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,
also to neutralize acids in the urine SO it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness. q
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, efer-
vescent Whitewater drink.
