When your kidneys feel like 'lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine' is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer 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 Jad baits take a tahlespoonful 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, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; 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 lith-ia-water beverage, and belongs in every , home, because nobody cau make a mis take by having a good kidney flushing any time.
