GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
II your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots of water
and eat less meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don t get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs to excite the kidneys and
irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep
your kidneys clean like you keep your
bowels clean, by flushing them with a
mild, harmless salts which removes the
body's urinous waste and stimulates
them to their normal activity. The
function Of the kidneys is to filter the
blood. In "a hours they strain from it
500 grains of acid and waste, so we
can readily understand the vital i'm
portance of keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-yOu can't drink
too much also get from the pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take n
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast each morning for a few days
and your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tions TO clean and stimulate elogged
kidneys; also TO neutralize the acids
in the urine so it no longer is a source
of irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
iure; makes a delightful effervescent
iithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep their
kidneys clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and no
doubt you will wonder what became of
your kidney trouble and backaehe.-
