WHY CHILLY WEATHER
 BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says skin pores arc closed and uric acid remains ill
 Blood.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age, sex, color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human atfllctions it is one of the most painful. Those sub- ject to rehumatism should eat less meat, unless 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 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 slug gish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accomplishing 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 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 rid ding the blood l 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 i of folk who are subpect tJ Here you have a pleas ant, efervescent lthia- water drink which ovcrcomcs uric acid and is 1 beneficial to your kidneys as we'll.
