MEAT CAUSE OF
 KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a glass of "SaIts if your Back hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat
 forms uric acid.

If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted author ity who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kid neys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, shal p 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 gets cloudy. full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste, get four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass Cf water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine, This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bIned with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine. so it no longer irri- tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- jure, and makes a delightful efferves- cent Whitewater drink.
