QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a Gas Of Salt if our
Back Hurts or B'a- er
Troubles YOU.

No man or woman y ii3 eats meat regI-
lariy can make mistake BY flushing the
kidneys occasionally, saws a well-knoWn
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail TO filter the waste and poisons from
the blood then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment YOU feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular Of passage or attended By
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take tablespoonful
in glass of water before breakfast and in
a few days your kidneys viii act fine
This famous salts is made from the acid
Of grapes and lemon juice, combined with
uthia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also
b neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
iniure; makes d delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.
