When your kidneys hurt and your

which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their
normal activity. The function of the
kidneys is to filter the blood. In "a
hours they strain from it 500 grains
Of acid and waste, so we can readily
understand the vital importance of
keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of Water-you can't
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast each morn
ing for a few days and your kidneys
will 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 clogged kid

urine so it no longer is a source of
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not
injure; makes a delightful effer-

everyone should take now and then
to keep their kidneys clean and ac-
