Reelection of Judge Whitfield

he reelection of Judge Whitfield to the circuit

party has every reason to be proud of the fact but
It's every whit as much temperance victory. Early
after his appointment Judge Whitfield had occasion

WHY CHILLY WEATHER
BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Saws Skin Pores Are Closed and Uric
Acid Remains in
Blood.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age,
sex. color or rank. If not the most
dan -erous of human Affections it is
one of the most painful. Those SUBJ
ject to rheumatism should eat less
meat, dress as warmly as possible,
avoid any undue exposure and, above
all, drink lots of pure water.
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
a described into the blood. It is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast 1t out
in the urine; the pores of the skin
are also means Of freeing the blood
of this impurity. In damp and chill
~, 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 Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
| full in a glass of water and drink be-
| fore breakfast each morning for a
| week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
| normal action, thus Kidding the blood
| of these impurities.
| Jad Salts Is inexpensive harmless
| and is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with IL
| thia and is used with excellent re-
| suits by thousands Of folks who are
/ subject to rheumatism. Here YOU
| have pleasant effervescent lithia-
| water drink which overcomes uric
acid and is beneficial to your ,xidnevs
| ms well.

ARE THESE YOUR SYMPTOMS?

Do you find your breath bad in the
morning, bad taste in the mouth, .
coated tongue, mean feeling in the
head?
Constipation, which these symptoms
denote, is dangerous because it means
that poisonous materials which should
have been expelled from the body are
being retained. 1t is a condition which,
if not corrected, becomes chronic.
The remedy is to stimulate the liver by
the use of Pinklets, the gentle laxative
pills that do not grippe or purge but simply
assist nature. Taken regularly for a
time, they really do correct constipation.
Write the DIR. Williams Medicine CO.,
Schenectady, N. Y, for free sample or
get a full-size, 25-cent bottle OF Pinklets
from your own druggist.
