IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SAL Is
If Back Hurts or Bladder Both.
erS You Take lad Salts.

When you wake up with back
ache and dull misery in the kidney
region it may mean you have been
eating foods which create acids,
says a well-known authority. An
excess of such acids 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 clog
you must relieve them, like you re-
lieVe your bowels, removing all the
body's waste, else you have back
ache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coat
ed, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges.
Either consult a good, reliable
physician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces OF
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys
may then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
years to help clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the system, so they no
longer irritate, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, eff.
fervescent lithia water drink. Drink
lots OF soft water. BY all means
have your physician examine your
Kidneys at least twice a year.
