Rheumatism Is no respecter OF age,

drink lots of pure water.
Rheumatism is caused by uric
acid which is generated in the bow
els and absorbed in the blood. 1t is
the function of the kidneys to filter
this acid from the blood and cast it
out In the urine; the pores of the
skin are also means of freeing the
blood of this impurity. In damp and
chilly, cold weather the skin pores
are closed, thus forcing the kidneys
to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to elimin-
ate this uric acid which keeps ac-
cumulating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling In the
Joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy abouS four
ounces of Jad Salts; put table
spoonful In a glass of water and drink
before breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus Kidding the blood

Jad Salts is inexpensive, HARMLESS
and is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with
