QUM OF ITER •GLEANS KIDNEYS Take a Little Salts if Your Back Hurts, or Bladder Is Troubling You. No man or woman can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a veil-known authority. Eating too much rich food creates acids, which excite the kidneys. They become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fall to filter the waste and poisons from the blood. Then we get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders often come from sluggisn 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, begin drinking a quart of water each day, also 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 may act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithla, and has been used for years to flush and stimulate the kidneys; also to help neutralize the acids in the system, so they no longer cause Irritation, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which every one should take now and then to help keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby often avoiding serious kidney complications. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year.—Advertisement.
