SALTS IS FINE FOR
 KIDNEYS, QUIT MEAT
Flush the Kidneys at Once When Back Hurts or Bladder BOthcrS-

No man or woman who eats m eat regularly can make a mistake by flush ing the kidneys occasionally says a wCll-knOWn authority. M0at forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part oC the waste and poisons from the Diood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness constipation, dizziness, slecplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or If the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at t2nded by a sensation of scaldiny, set about four ounces of lad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be- fore breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and has been used for gen. erations to flush ClOgged kidneys ana stimulate them to activity, also to neu- tralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and can not lniure; makes a delightful effer- vescent lithia-water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.
