We are a nation of meat eaters and

a well-known authority, who warns us
to be constantly on guard against kid

The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid. but
get sluggish: the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste Is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system

like Jumps of lead. and you have sting

relief during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells. sleeplessness, acid stomach, or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces OF
Jad Salts: take tablespoonful in n
glass of water before breakfast each
morning, and in q few days your kid =
neys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acids of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so 1t is no
longer a source of irritation. thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
