HARMLESS TO FLUSH KIDNEYS
AND NEUTRALIZE Irritating
ACIDS.

Kidney and bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass 1t on to the bladder
where it often remains to irritate and
inflame, causing a burning, scaldins
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliGing
you TO seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread. the water passes
sometimes with scaldins sensation
and is very profuse; again. there Is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness. most folks call
it, because they can't control uriua-
tion. While 1t is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful. this Is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad salts from your pharmacist
and take a tablespoonful in glass nt
water before breakfast. continue this

Germany will not allow Lithuania
to come to any decision on the crown
