SALTS If EAckAcHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Stop Eating Meat for a While If
Your Bladder Is Troubling You

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric /acid
which overworks the kidneys in their
effort to filter it from the blood and
they become sort of paralyzed and
loggy. When your kidneys get slug
gish and clog you must relieve them,
like you relieve your bowels; remov
ing all the body's urinous waste, else
you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours,
tongue is coated, and when the wealth
er is bad you have rheumatic 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 ply
sician 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 lemon, juice
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also tc
neutralize acids in the urine so it nc
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
| injure, and makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia- water drink.
