REPORT MANY CASES
 OF RHEUMATISM NOW
Says VIC must keep feet dry; avoid exposure and cat less
 meat.

Stay or .he damp ground, avoid exposure, keep feet dry, eat less meat, drink lots or water and above all tako a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep down uric acid.
 Rheumatism is caused by poisonous toxin, Caled uric acid, which is gene rated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It 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 a 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 eliminate this uric acid which keeps accommodating 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 about four ounces of lad Salts; put a tablespoon full in a glass of water and drink be- fore breakfcst each morning for week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of, these impurities.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas ant, effervescent Whitewater drink which orercomes uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as we'll.
