IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys
and Neutralize Irritating
Acids

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid. says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass 1t on to the bladder,
where it often remains % lrritate and
inllame, causing a burning, scaldlng
sensation, 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 is in
constant dread, the water passes some
times with a scalding sensation and is
very profuse; again. there is difficulty
in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call 1t,
because they can't control ~urinatton:
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one of the most simple ailmnts to
overcome. 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 neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so 1t no
longer Is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts Is
splendid for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent Whitewater drink. which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.
