QUIT MEAT IF KIDNEYS
BOTHER AND USE SALTS
fast If Your Back ls Hurting or
Bladder Is Irritated.

II you must have your meat every
day, eat 1t, 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 duh
misery in the kidney region, sharp
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 Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; 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 acids of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so 1t no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink.--Adv.
