MEAT WHEN
 KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a glass of Salts before breakfast if your Back hurts or Bladder is
 troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make mistake Jy flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the 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, sleep Iessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimu- | late the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful efferves- cent lithia-water drink which every one should take now and then tC keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.-Adv
