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
authority. We are advised to dress
warmly; keep the feet dry; avoid
exposure; eat less meat, but drink
plenty Of good water.
Rheumatism is a direct result Of
eating too much meat and other
rich foods that produce uric acid
which Is absorbed into the blood.
1t 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 free
ing 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 sluggish and fail
to eliminate the uric acid which
keeps accommodating and circulating
through the system, eventually set
tling In the joints and muscles caus-
ing stiffness, soreness and pain call
ed rheumatism. ....-..
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces OF Jad Salts; put a table
spoonful in a glass of water and
drink before breakfast each morn
ing for q week. This is said to
eliminate uric acid by stimulating
the kidneys to normal action. thus
the blood Of these impurities.
Jad Ssltsis inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with
iithia and Is used with excellent re-
suits by 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
