Bad Take Salts
Says Eackache often means you
have been eating too
much meat.

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it may
mean you have been eating TOO much

excess OF meat may form uric acid,
which Overworks the kidneys in their
effort to filter it from the blood, and
they become sort OF paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and

night.

grapes and lemon juice, combined with

to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys
