EAT LESS AND TAKE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take a glass of Salts before breakfast
If your Back harts or Bladder
bothers you.
The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and all our food
is rich. Our blood ia filled with urio
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
luggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like lumps of
lead ; your back hurls or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you eulfer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar
macist about four ounces of J ad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneya will then act line.
This famous salta is made from the acid
of (Trapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been' used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidnevs;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive-, cannot in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
lithia water beverage, and belong in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidney Hush
ing any time.
