MANY CASES OF

Avoid Exposure and
Eat Less Meat.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex-
posture. keep Feet dry. eat less meat,
drink lots of water and above all take
a spoonful OF salts OCCASIONALLY 70 keep
down uric acid.
rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin. called uric acid, which is gener-
ated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. II is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast Il out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also q 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 10 clint
nate this uric acid which keeps 40
cumulating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in tho
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 tablespoon
ful in q glass Of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said 70 eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys TO
normal action. thus ridding the blood
OF these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless
and is made from the acid OF grapes
and lemon juice. combined with liihia
and is used with excellent results BY
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism.
