If your Back hurts or Bladder bothcrs you. drink lots of

When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irriiate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with a mild, harmless salts which helps to remove the body's urinous waste and stimulate them to their normal activity. The function of the kidneys Is to filter the blood. In s4 hours they strain from 1t 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active.
 Drink lots of water--you can't drink too much; also get from any pharma- cist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in glass of wa- ter before breakfast each morning for few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. combined with lithis, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys: also 10 neutralize the acids in urine 90 it is no longer a source of irritation, thus often ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- iure: makes delightful effervescent lithia water drink, which everyone should take now and then to help keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this; also keep up the water drink ing. and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache.
