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 author tty. We are advised to dress warm ly; keep the feet dry; avoid expos ure; eat less meat. but drink plenty of good water.
 Rheumatism is a direct result of foods that produce uric acid which is absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this 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 clos- ed thus forcing the kidneys to do dou- ble work, they become weak and slug gliSh and fail to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accommodating and circula ting through the system, even tually settling in the joints and mus cles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatis tisna get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad 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 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 rheuma tism.
