QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take glass of Salts before Breakfast
If your Back aches or Bladder
is troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says
wellknown authority. Meat forms uric
acid which excites the kidneys, they
become overworked from the strain, get
sluggish and fail to filter the waste and
poisons from the blood, then we get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache IN
the kidneys or your back hurts or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take n
tablespoonful in n glass of water before
breakfast and in q few days your KID
news 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 flush and
stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralze
the acids in urine so il no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
iniure; makes delightful ciferveseent
lithia.water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blooo
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney

KNIFE ON CORNS
CAUSES LOCKJAW
Tells how to loosen a tender corn so
it lifts out with
out pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn, the soreness is relieved
and soon the entire corn, root and ALL
lifts out with the fingers.
1t is a sticky substance which dries
the moment it is applied and is said
to simply shrivel the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin 1t is claimed
that a quarter of an ounce will cost
very little at any of the drug stores,
but IS sufficient to rid ones feet of
every hard or soft corn or callus.
You are further warned that cutting
at corn is a suicidal habit.-Adv.
