At first yau feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from back ache, sick headache, dizzisess, stom- ach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the wea- ther is bad.
 Eat less meat, drink lots of water: also get from any pharmalst four ounces of lad Salts; take 8 tables poonful in glass of water before
 breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fam GUS salts is made from the acid Of grapes and lemon juice. combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clOgged kidnevs and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so 1t no longer is a source of irrita- ton thus ending bladder weakness.

Drug glsts here say they sell lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcom ulng kidney trouble while it is only rOuble.--AdYt.
