EAT LESS MEAT

 IF KIDNEYS HURT
Says tablespoonful of Salts

Meat forms Uric Acid, which excites Kidneys and Wealens
 Bladder.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authori ty because the uric acid in meat eX- cites the kidneys, they become over worked: get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particu- larly backache and misery in the kid ney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach constipation torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irritation.
 The moment your back hurts or kid neys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a 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, cOm- bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clOgged kid neys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.
