SALTS REL|ELES
ACHING KIDNEYS
WE EAT TOO MUCH MEAT,
WHICH CLOGS KIDNEYS. SAYS
NOTED AUTHORITY.
IF BACK HURTS OR BLADDER
BoTHERs, STOP ALL MEAT FOR
4 WHILE.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
hody's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache. dizzy spells
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy. full of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable ply
eician at once or. get from your phar-
llIacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will 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 and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in the urine so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, can
not injure and makes delightful, eff
fervescent Whitewater drink.-Adv.
