" KIDNEYS. AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Tako Salts to Flush Kidneys and
NeutraIize Irritating
Acids.

Kidney and bladder weakness
result from uric acid, says not
ed authority. The kidneys filter
this acid from the blood and pass
lit on to the bladder, where it often
remains to irritatc and inflame,
causing a burning, scalding SEN
sation. or setting up an irrita-
ton at the neck of the bladder,
ohliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a
scalding sensation and is very
prOfuse; again. there is difficulty
i'm avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks
call it, because they can't control
urination. While it is extremely
annoying and sometimes very
painful, this is really one of the
most simple ailments to over
come. Get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from your pharmacist
and take tablespoonful in a,
glass of water before breakfast,
continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer
is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which
/; then act normally again.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive, harm
less, and is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lthia, and is used by
thousands of folks who are sub
jcct to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts
is splendid for kidneys and causes
no bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, eff
fervescent lithia-water drink,
which quickly relieves bladder
trouble.
