KEEP URIC ACID
OUT OF JOINTS
Tells rheumatism Sufferers to Eat
Less Meat and Take Salts.

rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure. states a welI-known authority
We are advised to dress warmly, keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat but drink plenty of good water
Rheumatism is d direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into 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 impuriry- In damp and chilly
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
and fail to eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circu-
Iating 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 q tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for q
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 Hthia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject
to rheumatism Here you have
pleasant effervescenr Iithia- water
drink which helps to overcome uric
acid and Is beneficial to your kidneys
