IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts 10 Flush Kidneys and
neuiralize irritating
acids

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate
and inflame, causing a burning soaldc
ing sensation, or setting up an irri-
tation at the neck of the bladder oblig-
ing you to seek relief two or three
times during the night. The sufferer
is in constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with scalding sensation
and is very profuse again. there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness. most folks call
il. because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one OF the most simple all
ments 10 overcome. Get about four
ounces Of Jad Salts from your phar-
macist and take u tablespoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast, con-
tinue this for two or three days. This
will neutralize the acids in the urine
so it no longer is source of irri-
tation to the bladder and urinary
orgnns which then act normally again
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, efferves-
cent lhhia-water, which quickly re-
lieves bladder trouble.-Adv.
