If KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Glass of Salts to Flush Out
Your Kidneys and Neutralize
Irritating Acids.

Kidney and bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass il on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
lhflame, causing burning scalding sen
sation, or setting up an irritation at the
neck Of the bladder, obliging you to seek
relief two or three times during the
night. The sufferer IL in constant dread,
the water passes sometimes with scald-
lag sensation and is very profuse;
again, there is difficulty in yoidmg it,.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it.,
because they can't control urination.
While it Is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one of the most simple ailments to over
come. Get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from your pharmacist and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days This will neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is a source of
irritation to the bladder aud urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with Ethia, and
is used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen-
did for kidneys and causes no bad eff
fects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferveseent
iithia water drink, which quickly re.
lieves bladder trouble.-Adv.
