REPORT MANY CASES
Of RHEUMATISM NOW
Says we must keep feet dry; avoid
exposure and eat
less meat.

STAY of the damp ground. avoid cx'
posture, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots Of water and above all take
a 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. 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 a 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 accommodating
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 a tablespoonful
in glass OF water and drink before
breakfast each morning for week. This
is said to eliminate uric acid by stimu-
lating the kidneys TO normal action,
thus Kidding the blood of these Impair
tiles.
lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon juice, combined wi h lithia and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands Of folks who are subject to rheu-
matisn. Here you have a pleasant,
effervescent lithia-water drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial
to your kidneys as well.

First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk
Purgative With CaIotabs, the Puri->

that are Nausealess, Safe and

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and infu-

effectiveness until the liver is made
thoroughly active. That is why the
first step in the treatment is the new,
nausealess calomel tablet called Gallo
tabs, and which are free from the
slckening and weakening effects of
the old style calomel. Doctors also
point out the fact that an active liver
ay go long way toward preventing
Influenza and is one of the most inn
oortant factors in enabling The pa
tlent to successfully withstand an at
tack and ward off pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed

all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with YOUR eat

Calotabs only in original sealed pack
ages, price thirty-five cents. Your
money will be cheerfully refunded If

John Ponneroy Points
Wav to Live Neville
Noted Scientist Expounds His
Theory That Existence Centers
in the Stomach-Interest Shown
by Throngs.

Interest in the remarkable new
theory advanced by John Pomeroy
that stomach trouble is responsible
for the vast majority of cases OF Ill
health, caused a large number OF At
lanta people to call at the main store
of Jacobs Pharmacy Saturday to
learn more about Mr.. Pomeroy and
his medicine, Puratone.
In an interview Mr.. Pomeroy said:
Stomach trouble l consider the curse
of the century. Thousands who do
not know what is the matter with
them are suffering from it. They
take so-called treatments for ner-
vousness, constipation or heart trou-
BILE. And in vain, for they do not
get at the real cause. The stomach
in many cases has become slowly
poisoned by dropping of acid and
nauseating mucus, usually from ca
tarrh, into the throat during slum-
Der. or careless swallowing of it
through the day. An infamed condi-
ton results, digestion is arrested, dys-
pepsia is established. nutrition is de-
MED, the appetite fails, the liver is
clogged, the blood is fouled, kidneys
can not act, constipation follows,
pimples appear, aches and pains ut
ter their warning, and a general de-
bility is the result, followed by suf-
fering and death.
81 can not begin to number the
people who have come to me with
pitiful stories of how they had dizzy
spells, were weak all the time, could
not sleep at night, get up in the morn
ings more tired than when they went
to bed, and the very sight of food
nauseated them. Or sometimes they
had unnaturally ravenous appeties,
felt stuffed up after eating. their
minds wandered, violent headaches
attacked them, often accompanied by
a sudden nausea, vomiting or fainting
spells. Many had been forced to 90
without solid food for several weeks
at a time, had always sour stomach,
were troubled with formation of gas
on that organ, led the gloomy life of
dyspeptics, the eyesight was affected,
they were dull. tired, nervous and
gloomy all the time.
Thousands of such sufferers have
pourned out their thanks to my medi-
cine, Puratone, for restoring them to
good health. | am absolutely posi-
tive that Puratone will relieve any
such case of stomach trouble in from

HOKE Smith Will
OPPOSE ALA. MAN
Continued from page /

Continued from page u
speaking to the people of Georgia on
this matter"
Political wiseacres here profess to
see in the statement of Senator
Smith fine Italian hand of former
Senator Hardwick appears. The man
for whom quite recently Georgia
substituted Senator Harris is said to
entertain the rather ambitious dream
Of making himself political dictator
of Georgia, not only to become the
governor of that state, but by run
ming Senator Smith for president,
to acquire possession of the Georgia
delegation for use against President
Wilson in the San Francisco conVen-
ton. At any rate, posthaste from a
caucus of his friends in Atlanta last
week, ex-senator Hardwick returned
to Washington, and he was closeted
with Senator Smith just prior to the
release by the latter of the state
which has astounded Georgians in
Washington today.
The history of the Smith state
ment is even more interesting than
the statement itself. A newspaper
correspondent called at the Geor-
gian's Office. He chided the senator
for having become a rather unsatls-
factory source of news. Whereupon,
the senator suggested that the cor
respondent send to Georgia a state
ment to the effect that developments
in the politics of that state would
soon become interesting. The cor
respondent, aware of the possibilities
in the Smith statement, suggested
that the senator dictate to his secre-
tary in order that the danger of err
ror might be eliminated. This Sena-
tor Smith prepared to do, when ex-
! Senator Hardwick was announced.
/ Senator Smith Immediately dismiss
ed the correspondent and closeted
himself with his newest political ally.
The correspondent, fearful that
Senator Smith might not resume his
d etation as soon as his conference
with Hardwick had reached conclu-
sion, urged the secretary to remind
him to complete the story in his first
moment of leisure. This in all prob
ability Senator Smith did, for when
the correspondent again got into
communication with the office of
Senator Smith, his secretary read
over the telephone the statement pre-
pared.
