the acids, waste and poison, else you feel
a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, dir
illness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather Is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids and
flush of the body's urinous waste get
about four ounces Of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then act
fine and bladder disorders disappear.

to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys
and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts

is either demolished or very
nearly SO. When we arrived, my

about town looking for q suitable
place for our office. We spent
about an hour going in and out
of ruined places. and finally found
one-where there were still
chairs, tables, etc. To-day / went
into the church and found every
thing ruined. It must have beea
q pretty building, especially in
side, but now it is wrecked. The
altar. on which there are some
French flags. is still intact. Last
might, four big shells landed near
our house. and in little time N.Y.

cave next door. We afterwards
went back up and got our mat

nine watts which have been built

with the recommendation Of the
Federal authorities and by the
early part of spring, it is more
thanprobable we will be classed as
free of tick. It is to be hoped
this important sanitary work will
