urinary disorders often come from
sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache
in the kidneys, or your back hurts,
begin drinking quart of water each

Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast, and in a few days
your kidneys may act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to flush and stimulate the
kidneys; also to help neutralize the
acids in the system, so they no lon
