Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or have Blad-

Meat forms uric acid which ex- cites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eaters of meat must flush the kidneys occasionally You must relieve them like you re- Heve your bowels; removing all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel a dull misery in the kidney region. sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stom- ach sours. tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy. full of sediment; the chan nels often get irritated, obliging you to get up two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urin- Ous waste get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take . tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made. from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. lad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and makes a delightful ef- fervescent Whitewater drink which millions of men and women take now and then, thus avoiding serious Kidney and bladder diseases.--Adv.
