MANY CASES OF

Exposure and Eat
Less Meat

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex-
posure, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water, and above all take
a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep
down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene.
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. 1t is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and east 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 kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keeps accumulatine
and circulating through the system
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles causing stiffness, soreness and
pain called rheumatism.
