TRY A LITTLE SALTS IF KIDNEYS
AND BLADDER ARE TROUBLING YOU

While It is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful. this is really
one OF the most simple ailments to
overcome. Get about four ounces Of
Jad salts from your pharmacist and
take tablespoonful in a glass Of water
before breakfast, continue this for two
or three days. This will neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer is a
source of irritation to the bladder and
urinary organs which then act nor
mally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with uthia.
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.
