TO CURE BACKACHE A SPECIALIST’S ADVICE. Backaeho, that excruciating, agonising pain in the small of the back which almost drives one crazy, and often makes the slightest movement torture, is almost invariably clue to the failure of the kidneys to do their work properly. The first thing that happens when the kidneys begin to fail is the deposit of uric acid crystals, which usually first make their presence felt in the nerve sheathes in the big muscles cf the back and hips. Whenever the condition occurs, tiiere are t'vo things to be done; first, dissolve out the uric acid crystals, and second, restore the natural tone and vigour of the kidneys, so that the uric acid which continually forms in the body is filtered from the blood and flushed out of the system in a natural manner instead of being permitted to collect and crystallise as described above. Formerly, to accomplish these two objects it was necessary to take expensive courses of treatment at famous springs, but an eminent scientist has recently discovered that the same results may ho secured at slight expense by drinking, three or four times a day. a glass of water in which Ims been dissolved a teaspoonful of Alkia Saltrates. These sakrates, which in their refined form enable you to reproduce the curative and medicinal properties of the most famous springs, and are obtainable of any chemist, should, in a few days, not onlv remove all uric acid from the blood, thus causing backache, rheumatism and lumbago to disappear, but they will also at the same time restore the kidneys to norma! activity and perfect health, thus guaranteeing freedom from future attacks. —Advt.
