MEAT CAUSE OF
 KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys if Back Hurts or Bladder
 Bothers.

If you must have your meat every day eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasi onally, says noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost para lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach soufs, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get. sore and irri- tated, Obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's ufinous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy here; take table
 poonful in glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fla nous salts is made from the acid of
 'rapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate
 luggish kidneys, also to feutralize
 he acids in urine, so it no longer ir-
 itates, thus ending bladder weak lcss.
 Jed Salts is inexpensive; cannot njure, and makes a delightful ef-
 ervescent Whitewater drink. Adv.
