GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEY
If your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots of water and
eat less meat.

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 irrtate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowles clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys Is to
filter the blood In "a 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 can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass of wat
er 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 1t no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
iure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water 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
backache.
