OUT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take glass Of Salts before breakfast
If gour Back hurts or Bladder
is troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat regll-
larly can make q mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the>strain, get cluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
The blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full OF sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take .
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is madf
from the acid of grapes aud lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neut-alize the acids
in urine SO it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness. .
q. Jad Salts is inexpensive ard cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithla-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications,
