If KIDNEYS And
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to flush Kid
neys and neutralize
irritating acids

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder. where it often remains to ir-
ritate and infame, causing a burning,
scalding senation, or setting up an
irritation at the neck of the bladder,
cbliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scald-
ing sensation and Is very profuse;
again, there is difficulty in voiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
1t, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one Of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
OF Jad Salts froE your pharmacist
and take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
traiize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which
then act normally again.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive. harmless,
and is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lthia,
and is used by thousands of folks
who are subject to urinary disorders
caused by uric acid irritation. Jad
Salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes TO bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent Whitewater drink, which quick
ly relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.
