Meat CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts To Flush Kidneys Il
Back Hurts or Bladder
BotherS

If you must have your meat every
day eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says noted
authority who tells us that meat
forms uric acid which almost par
alyzes the kidneys in their efforts
to expell it from the blood. They be
come sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back
or sick headache dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the chan
nels often get sore and irritated
obliging you to seek relief two OF
three times during the night.
To neutraIize these irritating acids
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste, get -four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar
macy here; take tablespoonful
in a glass of water for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine
This famous salts is made from
the acids of grapes and lemon juice
combined with lithia and has been
used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys. also to
neutralize the acids in urine. so
it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: cannot
injure, and makes delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink
