a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps

is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or if you have rheumatism
when the weather is bad, begin drink
ing lots of good soft water and 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, COM

years to help flush and stimulate clogged
kidneys, to neutralize the acids in the
system so they no longer are a source
of irritation, thus often relieving blad-
