Foley Kidney Pills act promptly and effectively. Mrs. Robert Ully, 709 Alton St., Alton, 111., writes: . "For three years I had a tired, wornout feeling. Various treatments fail-1 ed.

QUIT MEAT WHEN KIDNEYS BOTHER Take a Glass of Salts Before Breakfast if You Back Hurts or Bladder is Troubling You. No man or woman who eats meat 1 regularly can make a msitake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, i says a well-known authority. Meat ' forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become over-worked from I the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in | the kidneys or your back hurts or it 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 fhftdi and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. .Tad 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.
