Take a Glass of Salts Before Break,
fast if Your Back Hurts or
Bladder Is Troubling You.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which eXcites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver troubles, ner-
vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dun ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or II
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take q 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 stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids In urine so it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot

vescent lithia- water drink which
everyone should take now and then
to keep the kidneys clean and active
