URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Take a Glass of Salts If Your Back
Hurts or Bladder
Bothers.

If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with 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 gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
oblging you to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
bodys urinous waste get four ounces of
lad Salts from any pharmacy here; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then 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 sluggish kidneys also
to neutralize the acids in urine, so il no
longer initiates, thus ending bladder |
weakness.
Jsd Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
lure, and makes delightful effervescent |
lithia water drink.-Adv.
