In the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach. sleeplessness and all
sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces OF Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast for a few Gays
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 is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine so 1t
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
dor disorders.
Jad Salts Is harmless; inexpensive;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious COM
plications.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots OF lad Salts to folks who be-
lieve in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.-Adv.
