SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or If Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-knoWn
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyZed and loggy,
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing 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 oft
en- 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 pharma
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in 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, com
bined with lithia, and has been uset
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutraliz
acids in the urine so it no longer irri
tates, thus ending bladder weakness

PRESIDENT WILSON OBEYS HIM

Although President Wilson has a
cabinet to advise him, he is not bound
to follow it's advice. There is one
consultant, however, whose word is
practically law to him, and who acts
as his personal guardian. This is the
official White House physician, and in
Woodrow Wilson's case it is Dr. Cary
T. Grayson, U. S. N.
Aside from being his medical ad-
wiser, Doctor Grayson-or Past AS
sistant Surgeon Grayson, to use the
navy title-is one of the few close per-
sonal friends the president has in
Washington. He accompanies the
chief executive wherever he goes, ad.
vises him about what he shall eat and
what he shall wear, suggests the prop
er hours of recreation and work and
tells him what he should and should
not do in the way of labor.
