la GLASS OF SALTS WILL
END KlDNEY-BAcKACHE
Says Drugs Excite Kidneys and Rec.
ommends Only Salts, Particularly
II Bladder Rothers You.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot Of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
TOO much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
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 clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine SO it no
longer is a source Of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
| Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in.
jure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and. then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.-Adv.

raE pEATH oF GlRBo2s.


 The sixteenth of January. 1794, Is memorable as marking the death of one of the greatest historians of all time, Edward Gibbon. His monu- mental Decline and Fan Of the Ro- man Ekapires' has long been describ- cd as one of those works which ev-. erybody owns and nobody reads. but this is far from true. No student of history can afford to neglect fzib- bon, and this is especially true at the. present time of European convuIsi on. and transition, when the history re- corded by Gfbbon may be in process of repeating itself. It will surprise many present-day readers of Gibbon to learn that during his life and for many years following his death the great historian was denounced as an .inhdel.' and his great work was under the ban of disapprova1 Of many religious leaders because Of his all leged reflections on Christianity. Gfb- bon was inspired to write his ssRomes' when. at the age of twenty y-seven. he inspected the ruins of the Eternal City Tn 177z he settled in { house in London and began writing the great work; and on a June night in 1zs7 he wrote the last lines Of the last page The labor of fifteen years was ended at last. will not dis. semble the first emotions Of joy on
