ommends Only Salts, Particularly
If Bladder Bothers 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 a mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them TO their normal actiY-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In II 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 cant drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts:
take a 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 efferyescent
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
baekache.-Adv.

Il gave a package of Grape-Nuts to
a neighbor whose 3-year-old child was
a weakened little thing, i'll half the
time. The little tot ate the Grape-Nuts
and cream greedily and the mother
continued the good work, and it was
not long before a truly wonderful
change manifested itself in the child s
face and body. The results were re-
markable, even for Grape-Nuts.
Both husband and | use Grape Nuts
every day and keep strong and well
and have three of the finest, healthiest
boys you can find in days march
Many mothers instead of destroying
the children's stomachs with candy
