Drink lots OF water--you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces Of Jad Salts; take
q tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning for few
days and your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to clean and stimulate clOgged kid
neys; also to neutralize the acids in
airline SO it no longer is a source of irri-

Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in

keel up the water drinking, and no
doubt you will wonder what became of
