BLADDER BOTHER
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Out Your
Kidneys and Neutralize Irri
tating Acids
Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from tile
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
inflame, causing a burning, scalding sen
sation, or setting up an irritation at the
neck of the bladder, obliging you to
seek relief two or three times during
the night. Tiie sufferer is in constant
dread, the water passes sometimes with
a scalding sensation and is very pro
fuse; again, there is difficulty in "avoid
ing it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is cxttemely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one of the most simple ailments to over
come. Get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from your pharmacist and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or
three days. This will neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer is a
source of irritation to the bladder and
urinary organs which then act normally
again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used by thousands of folks who arc
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen
did for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
. Here you have a pleasant, efferves
cent lithia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.—Adv.

! MAN LONG IN DEATH HOI'SE
; Saved From Chair After Legal Fight of
Nearly Three Years
I New York, Jan. 22. —Two years and
218 days after he committed the crime,
having spent a year and a half in the
death house at Sing Sing prison, Jung
Ming pleaded guilty before Justice Da
vis in the Supreme Court yesterday to
manslaughter in the first degree. He
was sentenced this morning.
This is the story of the law's delay
in Hing's case:
June 17, 1912, Jung Hing shot Tee
Toy in front of No. 18 Pell street.
November, 1912, Hing was tried for
two weeks in General Sessions, ending
in a disagreement.
December, 1912, he was tried again
and convicted of murder. He was ta
ken to the death house at Sing Sing
and immediatel yfiled notice of an ap-/
peal.
July, 1914. more *han two years hav
ing elapsed, the Court of Appeals set
aside the conviction and ordored a new
trial, and Hing was brought back to
the Tombs.
January, 1915, Assistant District
Attorney James O'Mallev consented tc
a plea of a low degree rather than
risk another disagreement.
The two trials cost the State about
$5,000 each. It is estimated that oth
er expenses were fully as much more.
Hing was represented by William Tra
vers Jerome.
