and need a flushing occasionally, else we
have backache and dull misery in the
kidney region, severe headaches, rheu'
matte twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder dis

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 hot Jad

take a tablespoonful in q glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and

sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe
in overcoming kidney trouble while it is
only trouble.
