DRESS WARM AND
 KEEP FEET DRY
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take Salts and Get Rid of Uric Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age, sex. color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful. Those sub feet to rheumatism should eat less meat, dress 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 func- tion 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. Tn 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 accommodating and circulating through the system, eventually set ting in the joints and muscles caus- ing stiffness. soreness and pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put a table spoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast eacn morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood 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 thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas ant. effervescent lithia-water drink which .overcomes uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well.
