IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER bother
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys
and Neutralize Irritating
Acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where ii often remains to irri-
tate and inflame, causing burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an
irritation at the neck of the bladder,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scald
ing sensation and is very profuse;
again there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call 1t,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one OF the most simple ailments to
overcome. Get about four ounces OF
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take q tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu.
tralize the acids in the urine so 1t no
longer is source of irritation TO the
bladder and urinary organs which
then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid OF grapes
and lemon juice. combined with lithla.
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject TO urinary disorders caus'
ed by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts
is splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant. cfferves
cent lithia.water drink. which quickly
relieves bladder trouble ADV

COLD WEATHER IS
CHOLERA ANTIDOTE

S.ANARA, Oct. 2s.-Cholera has
about run its course along the Volga
for this year and. rs the weather
grows cooler, Is disappearing very
rapidly in spite of the weakened con-
dition OF the famine-stricken popula-
ilon and the unsanitary condition OF
Impoverished refugees crowded into
camps where there is absolute lack
of sanitary precautions.
Vital statistics are lacking but the
testimony of medical men who have
wide knowledge Of health conditions
in the Volga districts indicates that
the death rate among persons who
were taken with cholera ranged from
so 10 70 per cent. This was attributed
10 the undernourished condition or
the population and lack of facilities
TO treat the malady.
DR. Emily Burkhardt, a Russian
physician who Is now in the service OF
the American committee for relief in
the near east with headquarters in
Tifls. visited the famine area re.
Gently for the purpose OF studying
The cholera situation. She Is an ex-
pert in the treatment Of cholera. and
talked with many physicians and nurs'
IS who are battling with the disease
in the famine area. The testimony
of these medical men and women was
that they We're helpless because OF the
lack Of beds for patients and proper
facilities FOR their treatment.
Greatest Guarantee Against Cholera
The work OF the doctors and nurs'
es has been highly dangerous and
ropeess" Or. Burkhardt said. Under
fed doctors and nurses who try Ia
care for cholera patients without de-
cent hospitals and every facility for
protecting themselves against the dis
ease know that they are really risk
ing suicide. Tho greatest guarantee
against cholera is a stomach filled
with properly prepared food, Proper
feeding generates acid in the stomach
which kills the cholera germs and
makes the attendants immune.
Years ago ] saw one OF my pro
tessors at the University Of Moscow
drink a pure culture OF cholera
germs to prove that persons who are
In good health and properly fed hav,
acid In their stomachs which combat'
the disease He suffered no III ef
fccts.
THE underfcd medical men and wo
men in the famine area undertake
their task with the full knowledge
