Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some
form or other, says a well-known
authority, because the uric acid In
meat excites the kidneys, they be-
come overworked: get sluggish;
clog up and cause all sorts OF dis
tress, particularly backache and
misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches,
acid stomach, constipation, torpid
liver, sleeplessness, bladder and
urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or II
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces OF Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy: take a tablespoonful in
a glass OF water 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 combined
with Iithia, and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kid
news and stimulate them to nor
NAL activity; also to neutralize
the acids in the urine so II no
longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der disorders.
lad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent
iJthia water drink which millions
~ men and women take now and
then to keep the kidneys and uri-
nary organs clean. thus avoiding
