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 keening 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 a tablespoonful in q glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for q 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 it no
longer is source Of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking.

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys Is
well known nowadays. As soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic poi
soning occurs, and the person dies and
the cause is often given as heart dis
ease, or disease Of brain or lungs.
