KEEPS KIDNEYS

Must flush your Kidneys oc-
casionally if you eat meat
regularly.
Noted authority tells what

Bladder weakness.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make q mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which clogs the kid
ney pores so they sluggishly filter OF
strain only part of fthe waste and
poisons from the blood. then you get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness
constipation, dizziness sleepl lessness
bladder disorders come from slug
gish kidneys.
The moment you feel n dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts. OF
If the urine is cloudy, offensive. full
of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by a sensation of scalding,
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any reliable pharmacy and take
tablespoonful in n glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
yonr 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 clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to activity, also
to neutralize the acids in urine so il
no longer causes irritation, thus end
ing bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

When Women -..
Are Nervous

Every woman has days when her
nerves are at the breaking point,
when irritability and restlessness in
dicate that the enerVated nerve cells
Of the delicately organized body need
replenishing. Shattered nerves mar
the disposition, the appearance and
retard mental progress. Sleepless-
ness. exhaustion, indccision, faulty
memory, lack of continuity of
thought, languidness are the natural
resuts of depleted nerves, and de-
pleted nerves are the natural re-
suit of excessive drains upon the vi
tality. Then it is serious and
dangerous mistake. to resort to the
use OF so-callcd toncs or drug
stimulants. Weak and exhausted
nerves need food and nourishment -
not stimulants that lash them into
temporary activity. The food and
nourishment advised by present day
physicians is Just one 5-grain tablet
of pure bitro- phosphate taken during
or Immediately after each meal
Simple advice, but it's soundness has
been proven over and over again.
MoreoEer the remedy is within the
reach of every sufferer from weak
nerves, as a large package of bitro-
phosphate tablets, (sufficient for two

Mrs. Longworth and Mrs. Darby
rejoined Mrs. Roosevelt at the nos
pital this forenoon. There were many
callers, including George b. Cortel-

Serious, But l<ot Critical
a sudden development of infiam-
nation in the inner left ear was re-
sponsible for the hurried calling of
consultation of specialists yes
terday. This resulted in the issuing
of a statement which in effect char
acterized the Coloners condition as
serious. but not critical"
No formal statement was issued by
the physicians. but the following note
was made public by Colonel Roose-
velt's private secretary:
Colonel Roosevelt had an abscess
i'm both ears which were operated on
i'm the afternoon. The Colonel passed
a comfortable night, but in the
morning Inflammation had develop
ed from his left ear into his internal
ear. In the afternoon it was found
advisable to call in DR.. Gorham Ba-
con and DR.. Fred Whiting, eye and
car specialist, who went into con-
sultation with DR.. Duel, another eye
and ear specialist. who performed
the opera ton. and also DIR. Walton
Martin, the surgeon attending Col
onel Roosevelt. In their opinion no
further operations were indicated at
present. While his condition is Sc
rious, nothing more is to be done
than careful observation for the
present
First Operation Week Ago
After having undergone minor
operation for fistula at his home in
Oyste Bay about week ago, Colonel
Roosevelt came to New York that he
might be in closer touch with his
physician. Tuesday night, at his ho-
tel he was seized with Il secondary
hemorrhage and Wednesday, on the
advice of DIR. Walton Martin, under
went another operation for fistula.
Shortly afterwards a specialist also
removed an abscess from each of his
ears. Altogether the operations last
ed a few minutes less than two hours,
and Wednesday night was passed by
the former President in comparative
eiFse.
Yesterday, however. the attending
physicians discovered the develop
ment of Inflammation in the inner
ear but said for the present nothing
would be done except the mainte-
nance of a careful observation of
the patient.
During the day there were scores
of callers at Roosevelt Hospital,
among them George w. Perkins,
Oscar s. Straus and John Purroy
Mitchell, former Mayor of New York.
None of them was permitted to see
the Colonel, Mrs. Longworth doing
the talking for the family. In ad-
dition scores of kilograms and notes
of inquiry from friends throughout
the country were received at the hos
pital during the day. Flowers and
baskets of fruit also were delivered
there for Colonel Roosevelt.
