the waste and poisons from the hlood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
tisn. headaches, liver trouble, r1erv-
BUSINESS dizziness, sleepleSsncss and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment YOU feel d dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
; the urine is cloudy, offensive full Of
sediment, irregular OF passage or at
tended by a sensation of scaiding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take a tablespoonful in glass
| of water before breakfast and in
few days your kidneys will act fine
This famous salts is made from the
.sacid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
| bined with litiia, and has been used
, for generations to flush and stimulate
