MANY CASES OF
RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry.
Avoid Exposure and
Eat Less Meat

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex-
posure, keep feet dry, eat less meat
drink lots of water and above all take
spoonful of salts occasionally to keep
down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated 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 means OF
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keeps accumulating
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 Jad Salts; put tablespoonful
in a glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for week. This
is said to eliminate uric acid by stimu-
1ating the kidneys to normal action,
thus Kidding the blood of these impur-
tiles.
Jad 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 thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu-
matism. Here you have a pleasant,
effervescent lithia-water drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial
to your kidneys as we'll.
