A SPOONFUL Of

If back hurts or Bladder bothers,

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been
eating too much meat, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter 1t from the blood
and they become sort of paralyzed
and loggy. When your kidneys get
sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels;
removing all the body's urinous
waste. else you have backache, sick
headache dizzy spells; your stomac h
sours, tongue is coated, and when
the weather is bad you have rheu-
matte twinges. The urine is cloudy.
full of sediment, channels often get
sore. water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good. reliable
physician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
