When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep

strain from it 600 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water—you can’t drink
too much; also get from any pharma­
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of

been used for generations to clean
and stimulate clogged kidneys; also

ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in­

should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
