Trouble---Neutrahzes
Acids

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,
ache, and feel like humps of lead, The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is
irritated, and you may be obliged to
seek relief two or three times during
the night. When the kidneys clog you
must help them flush off the body $

person shortly AT first you feel dull
misery in the kidney region, you suf-
fer from backaehe, sick headache, diz-
ziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coat
ed and You feel rheumatic twinges when
the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces Of Jad Salts; take tablespoon
full in glass of water before breakfast
for few days and your kidneys VIII
then 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 clog
ged kidneys and stimulate them to nor
NAL activity, also to neutralize the acids
in urine, so it no longer is a source of
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
iure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to
folks who believe in overcoming kid
