Eat Less Meat if Kidneys Feel
Like Lead or Bladder
Bothers.
Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need a flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe headaches,
rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid
stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of
bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
uctlve and clean, and the moment you
feel an aohe or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store hero,
take a tablespoonful In a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act line.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon Juice, com
bined with Uthia. and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal act'vity. It also neu
tralizes the acids in the urine so It no
longer Irritates, thus ending bladder
disorders.
.Tad Suits Is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
wuter drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clecin, thus avoiding serious com
plications. A well-known local druggist says he
Fells lots of Jad Halts to folks who
believe In overcoming kidney trouble
while It Is only trouble.
