IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is sign you have
been eating too much
meat
When you wake tip with backache
nnd dull misery In the kidney region it
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be
come sort of paralyzed and loggv
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like vou
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells
your stomach sours, tongue is coated'
nnd when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable phy
sician at once or get from your phar
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with Ilthia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids In the urine so it no longer irri
tates, thus" ending bladder weakness.
.Tad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is Inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer
vescent lithia-water drink.—Adv.
