MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take a Tablespoonful of Salts
IF Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers y

We are nation Of meat eaters
and our blood is filled with uric acid,
says a well-known authority, who
warns us to be constantly on guard
against kidney trouble. ..@.-<. !
The kidneys do their utmost to
free the blood Of this Irritating acid,
but become weak from the overwork;
they get sluggish; the elinlinative It's
tues clog and thus the waste is re-
tanned in the blood to poison the
entire system. .. 49,.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have
singing pains in the back or the urine
IS cloudy, full Of sediment, or the
bladder is irritable, obliging you to
seek relief during the night; when
you have severe headaches, nervous
and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid
stomach or rheumatism in bad wealth
er, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces Of Jad Salts; take a
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast each morning 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
clogged kidneys, to neutralize the
acids in urine so it is no longer
source of irritation, thus ending urin-
airy and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink, and no.
body can make a mistake by taking
a little occasionally to keep the kid
neys clean and active.
