Have Kidneys
Examined By
Your Doctor
Take Salts to Wash Kidneys If
Back Pains You or Bladder
Bothers

Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thority, who tells us that too much
rich food forms acids which almost
paralyze the kidneys in their efforts
to expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken; then you
may suffer with a dull misery in the
kidney region, sharp pains in the back
or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated, and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To help neutralize these Irritating
acids, to help cleanse the kidneys
and flush off the body's urinous waste,
get four ounces of Jad Salts from any
pharmacy here; take tablespoonful
in glass of water before breakfast
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 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 IN
jure and makes delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink.
