QUIT MEAT WHENKIDNEYS BOTHER f ake a glass of Salts before breakfast if your Back hurts or Bladder is troubling you. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the k’dneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which ws-citee the kidneys, they Iwcomo overworked from the strain, get sluggish affil tail to filter the waste and poisons from Uiu blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, <* rvousneos, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys. • The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in a few days your kidneys | will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, aloe neutralize the acids in ur-n4 so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. • Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the ; kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.
