Drink Water
If Back or
Kidneys Hurt
Begin Taking Salts if You Feel
Backachy or Have Bladder
Weakness

Too much rich food forms acids which
excite and overwork the kidneys in
their efforts to filter it from the system.
Flush the kidneys occasionally to re-
lieve them like you relieve the bowels,
removing acids, waste and poison, else
you may feel dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, the stomach
sours, tongue is coated, and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment, the channels often get irri-
tated, obliging one to get UP two or
three times during the night
To help neutralize these irritating
acids and flush off the body's urinous
waste, begin drinking water. Also get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy, take tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys may then
act fine and bladder disorders disappear
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia and has been used
for years to help clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irri-
tation. Jad Salts is inexpensive and
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to help pre-
vent serious kidney and bladder dis
orders.
BY all means, drink lots of good water
every day. Have your physician exam
inc your kidneys at least twice year.
