If BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat and take glass sf
Salts to flush out Kidneys-
Drink plenty water

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,
ache, and feel like humps Of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri-
tated, and you may be obliged to seek re-
lief two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush off the body's urinous waste
or you'll be a real sick person shortly
At first you feel q dull misery in the Kid
ney region, you suffer from backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu-
matte twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful
in q glass Of water before breakfast
for few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with ithia, and has been used
for generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, SO
it no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervsscent
Whitewater drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.
