If BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush your kidneys occasionally
it you eat meat
regularly.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush.
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which clogs the kidney pores so
they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-
BILE, nervousness, constipation, dizzi.
ness, sleeplessness, bladder 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 bye sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful in 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 gen.
erations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
mot injure; makes delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.
