MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
TAKE \ TABLESPOONFUL OF
SALTS IL BACK HURTS OR
BLADDER BOTTLERS

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid. says
a well-known authority, who warns us
to be constantly on guard against
kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood OF this irritating acid. but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish: the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood tn poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead. and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine Is
cloudy. full of sediment. or the blad-
Ger is irritable. obliging you to seek
relief during the night; when o have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells. sleeplessness. acid stomach or
rheumatism In bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces OF
Jas Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in a few DAYS your kid
neys will act fine. This famous salts
il made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia.
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate clogged kidneys
to ne~utralize the acids in urine so it
is no longer a source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
iniure: makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink. and nobody
can make a mistake by taking a lit
tie occasionally to keep the kidneys
Clean and active.
