You must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel a dull mis ery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dlazi ness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. Thol urine is cloudy, tu: r of sediment; the channels often get irritated, obliging! you to get up two or three times dur- I ing the night. To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be fore breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear.
