QUIT MEAT IF YOUR
 KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take tablespoonful of Salts if Back hurts or Bladder bothers-
 Drink lots of water.

We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says Ia well-znown authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kid j ney trouble.
 The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminatfve tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system.
 When your kidneys ache and reel like Jumps of lead, and you have sting ing pains in the back or the urine Is cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad- der is irritable obliging you to seek relief during the night: when you have severe headaches. nervous and dizzy spells sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces or lad 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 is 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 neutralfze 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 fnfIlre: makes a delightful emerveScent lithia-dater drink, and nobody can make a mistake by taking a little oc- casionally to keep the kidneys clean and active.
