QUIT MEAT IF
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a Glass of Salts if Your
Back Hurts or Bladder
Troubles You.

No ma1f1l woman who eats meat
regularly zane make mistake by
flushing thes kidneys occasionally
says we'll 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 sicI;.
Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness. dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts or
if the urine is sloudy, offensive, fall
of sediment, irregular Of passage Oh
attended by a sensation OF scalding,
stop eating meat and get about -four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take tablespoonful in 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 avids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which
everyone should take now and then
to kee the kidneys clean and active
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

Be PRETTY! TURN
GREY HAIR DARK
Try GrandmOther's Old Favorite Rec
ipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it al
home, which is mussy an dtrouble-
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
large bottle of this famous old recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkeneo
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You damped sponge OF
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
lplication or two your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair ant
a youthful appearance. 1t is not in
