SALTS FINE FOR.
 ACHING KIDNEYS
When Back Hurts Flush Your kid- neys as You Clean Your
 Bowels.

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels sometimes get slug gish and clogged and need a flushing occasionally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver. acid stomach, sleepless- ness and all sorts of bladder disor- ders.
 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region begin drinking lots of water. Also get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here. take a tablespoonful in a glass Of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and is intended to flush clogged kidneys and help stimu- late them to activity. It also helps neutralize the acids in the urine so they no longer irritate, thus helping to relieve bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive: makes delightful etfervescent llthia water drink which everybody should take now and then to help keep their kid neys clean.
 \ well-known local druggist says he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in trying to correct kidney trouble while. it is only trouble. By all means have your physician e1- anime your kidneys at least twice year.
