FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat if You Feel Backachy
or Bladder Troubles You-Salts

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-
lieve them like you relieve your bow
els; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel a dull mis-
cry in the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, dizzi-
ness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is coudy, full of SEDIMENT the
urine is cloudy, full of sediment
channels often get irritated oblig-
ing you to get up two or three times
during the night
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with Ii
thia, and has been used for genera
lions to clean and stimulate sluggish
kidneys and stop bladder irritation.
Jad Salts is inexpensive harmless
and makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which millions of
men and women take now and then,
thus avoiding serious kidney and
BLADDER diseases. advt
