Says Backache is Sign You Have Been Eating Too Much Meat, When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort: to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy.

When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast 1or a few days and your kidneys will then act This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Salts is life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effervescent lithia drink.
