off and make 1t necessary to repeat
the application. 1t is not difficult to
find or devise preparations which will
keep rabbits away. Rabbits are very
particular about their food, and any

kidneys active.
Drink lots Of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-

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

neutralize the acids in urine so it no
