 IF KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat Less Meat and Take Salts for
 Baekache or Bladder Trouble

Uric acid in meat excites the kid neys, they become overworked get sluggish ache, and feel like Jumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body's urinous waste or you'H be- real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region. you suffer from back ache, sick headache, dizziness, stom- ach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges. when the weather is bad.
 Eat less meat, drink lots of water; ounces of lad Salts, take table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fam ous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activ- 1ty, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation thus ending bladder weak ness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive cannot in- JuTe; makes delightful efferveseent lithia water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the Kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kid ney trouble while it is only trouble.
