SALTS fine FOR
ACHING KIDNEYS
We eat too much meat which clogs
Kidneys, then the Back
. hurts.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean. and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take tablespoonful in glass Of wa
ter before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also neu-
| tralizes the acids in the urine SO it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
! neys clean, thus avoiding serious CON-
plications.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.

It Works! Try 1t
Tells how to loosen sore,
tender corn so 1t lifts
out without pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without a
particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
compound of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
trif1e, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instant
ly the soreness disappears and shortly
the corn or callus will loosen and car
be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels them
without even irritating the surround
ing skin.
Just think No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't have
freezone have him order it for you.

"ANURICw THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY.

This is a recent discovery of Dr. Pierce,
who is head of the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y.
Experiments at DR.. Pierce's Hospital
for several years proved that there is
no other eliminator OF uric acid that can
be compared to it, For those easily
recognized symptoms of inflammation
as backache, scalding urine and frequent
urination, as well as sediment in the
urine, or if uric acid in the blood has
caused rheumatism, it is simply wonderful
how surely "Anuric" acts. The best of
results are always obtained in cases of
acute rheumatism in the joints, in gravel
and govt, and invariably the pains and
stiffness which SO frequently and per-
sistently accompany the disease rapidly
disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for a 5O-cent package of
"Anuric," manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or even send DR.. Pierce 10 cents for a
large trial package. If you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble, send him a
sample of your water and describe sylnp,
toms. Doctor Perce's chemist will ex-
anime it, then DR.. Pierce will report to
you, without fee or charge.
NorE.-French scientists affirm that
"Anuric" is thirty-seven times more
active than lithia in eliminating uric
acid, and is harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given to the children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish
TO restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box-or
more in extreme cases-as "Anuric"
(thanks to DR.. Pierces achievement) is
by far the most perfect kidney and bladder
corrector obtainable.
