HAVE KIDNEYS
EXAMINED BY
YOUR DOCTOR

Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says a noted
authority, who tells US that too
much rich food forms acids which
almost paraIyZe the kidneys in their
efforts to expel it from the blood.
They become sluggish and weaken;
then you may suffer with dull
misery in the kidney region. sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours
tongue is coated, AID when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
tWinges.
To help neutraliZe irritating acids,
to help cleanse the kidneys. and
flush off the body's waste. get 'our
ounces Of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful n
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 flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize
the 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.
tervescent Whitewater drink.

Ringside Opinions Divided.
Opinions about the ringside were al
most evenly divided over the final blow
a low left that buried deep in Roberts
body as he stepped into Risko from the
ropes To many it appeared that the
punch had landed cleanly in the pit of
the Italians stomach and the crash OF
his huge body to the canvas was the
signal of another knockout added to

minutes as Double Roberts seconds

the battler, unconscious and in great
pain. from the ring.
Roberti made a gallant effort in the
first two rounds, stabbing Risko with
a long left as he waited for openings
to shoot right hand punches to the
head and body. AS the italian plunged
steadily forward, the Cleveland boy
gave under the attack and took a
steady cutting about the head.
