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 well known authorlty
We are advised to dress warmly, keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty OF good water
Rheumatism is direct result Of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. IL is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast il out IN
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood o.
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 the uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circu-
lating 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 litha
and is used with excellent results tv
thousands of folks who are subject
to rheumatism. Here you have a
pleasant effervesCent lithia water
drink which helps overcome uric acid
and is beneficial to your kidney as
