 When your kidneys feel like Jumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during tho night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, sour stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a table breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then 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 neutralze the acid in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
