Take a Tablespoonful of Salts
if Back Pains or Bladder
Is Irritated.
Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart of water each day, also take
sails occasionally, says a noted au
thority, who tells us that too much
rich food forms acids which almost
paralyse the kidneys in their efforts
to expel It from the blood. They be
come sluggish and weaken; then you
may suffer with a dull misery in the
kidney’ region, sharp pains In the back
or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sour*, tongue is coated, and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic trvinge*. The urine get*
• ioudy, full of sediment, the channels
often get sore and Irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To help neutralize thrso irritating
acids; to help cleanse the kidneys and
flush off the body's urinous waste, get
four ounces of Jad Salts from any
pharmacy here. Take a tablespoon
ful in a glass of water before break
fast for a few days, and yaur kid
neys may then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the. acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with llthia,
and has been used for years to help
flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys;
also to neutralize the acids In the
system so they no longer irritate,
thus often relieving bladder yveak
ness.
Jad Salt* is inexpensive; cannot in
jure and makes a delightful efferves
cent lithia-water drink. By all means
have your physician examine your
kidneys at least twice a year.
