 OF SALTS.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a welf-known 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 rheu- natism. headaches. liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplesSness and urinary disorders come from slug gish 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 att tended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad 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 com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimu- late the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine SC it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weak ress.
 lad Salts Is inexpensive and cannot injure: makes a delightful efferves- cent 1ithia- ter drink which every enc should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.
