MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH KIDNEYS
If BACK HURTS OR BLAD-
DER BOTHERS.

II you must have your meat every
day, eat It, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally says a noted
authority who tells US that meat
forms uric acid which almost paral-
yzes the kidneys in their efforts to
expel It from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken. then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back
or sick headache. dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated AZ
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 tablespoonful in a
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, combined with llthia,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutrallze the acids In urine
SO It no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
lure. and makes n delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink.

sponge or soft brush with II and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appear years
younger.
