You,

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the Kidneys occasionally, says
a well known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excjtes the kidneys,
they become oyerworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood
then we get sick. Nearly all rheu-
matism, headaches, liver trouble, ner-
vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or
if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
Of sediment, irregular Of passage or
attended by a sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces Of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy: take a tablespoonful in a
glass OF water before breakfast and
in a few days your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid OF grapes and lemon juice,
combined with iithia, and has been
used for generations 10 flush and
neutralize the kidneys. also to neu-
tral.ze the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts IS inexpensive and can

eryone should take now and then to
keep the kidneys clean and active
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
