If BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat also take glass of
Salts before eating
breakfast.

Uric acid in meat excites the kid
neys, they become overworked; get
sluggish, ache, and feel like Jumps Of
lead The urine becomes cloudy; the
bladder is irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the kid
neys clog, you must help them flush
off the body's urinous waste or you'll
be real sick person shortly. At first
you feel dull misery in the kidney
region, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour,
tongue coated and you feel rheumatic
twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad' Salts; take table
spoonful in a glass Of water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys 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
clean clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer is source Of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lots of Jad salts to
folks who believe in overcoming kid
ney trouble while it is only trouble.
