IF BACK HURTS CLEAN
KIDNEYS WITH SALTS
Drink Lots OF Water and Stop Eating
Meat for a While II the Bladder
Bothers You.

Meat forms uric acid which excttes
and overworks the kidneys I'm tueir
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters Of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-
lieve them like you relieve your bow
els; removing all the acids, waste and
poison, else you feel dull misery in
the kidney region, sharp pains in the
back or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the
night
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces Of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your kid
neys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with ffthia, and
has been used for generations to clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys and
stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is
inexpensive; harmless and makes
delightful effervescent Whitewater
drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoid

FRUIT LAXATIVE
FOR SICK CHILD
"CaIifornia Syrup of Figs" can't
harm tender stomach,
liver and bowels.

Every mother realizes, after giving
her children California Syrup OF
Figs" that this is their ideal laxative,
because they love it's pleasant taste
and it thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with
out gripping.
When cross, irritable, feverish, or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give q
teaspoonful Of this harmless fruit
laxative" and in few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow

again. When its little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, coltc-remem-
Der, a good "inside cleaning" should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep "California
Syrup of Figs" handy; they know
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for 90

PRINCE ALBERT Is A WINNER
Patented Process Is Responsible
For Its international Popularity.

Smokers >o much appreciate the
flavor aud GOODNESS and aroma Of
Prince Albert pipe and cigarette to-.
bacco that they often marvel that
this brand could be 81 different from
all Others.
The answer Ia this question j. to
be found on the reverse side of every
Prince Albert package, where you
will read: "Process Patented July
30. 1907" That tells the whole of
the story. Prince Albert j. made by
patented process that cuts out the
bite and parch. which makes the to.
bacco 81 mighty agreeable and sat i.
isfying to men of every taste Of
every civilized nation on the globe.
Smokers should realize that this
patented process cost three years
continuous work and study and y
fortune IN money To perfect. But the
result has been proven to bc worth
all that was expended upon il. be-
cause i hns sci free men that bclicv-
ed they never could enjoy u pipe or
n makin's cigarette.
Prince Albert makes il possible TO.
every man to smoke u pipe or to roll
his own cigarettes. Aud no matter
how tender the tongue. Prime Alber,
cannot bite or parch. That j. cut out
by the patented process. leaving fo,
the smoker only the joys of the frae-
rant tobacco.
II is fact that since Prince Alb.
ori arrived. just about six years ago.
II has made three men smoke pipes
where one smoked pipe before.
