When you Wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it generally
means you have been eating toe
much meat, says a well-known *011101*%.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to fitter it
from the blood and they become sort ef
paralyzed and loggy. When year kidaeys
get sluggish and clog you most relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; m
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and yon are obliged
to seek Telief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physician
at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Baits; 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, oombined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
