Stay off the damp groud. avoid
exposure, keep feet dry, eat less
meat, drink lots of water and above
all take spoonful of salts occas-
ionally to keep down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poison
Gus toxin, called uric acid, which Is
generated in the bowels and alb
sorbed into the blood. II 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 eliminate
this uric acid which keeps accum-
ulating and circulating through the
| system, eventually settling in the
Joins and muscles causing stiffness
| soreness and pain called rheumatism
At the first twinge of rheuma-
tism get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Salts; put ia
blespoonful in a glass of water and
drink before breakfast each morn
