Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex. posture, keep feet dry, eat no sweets Of any kind for q while. drink lots ot water and above all take a spoonful of lad Salts occasionally to help keer down uric and toxic acids.
 Rheumatism is caused by poison toxins, called acids. which are 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 kidneys to do double work: they be- come weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this pdison, which keep ac- cumulating 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 lad Salts; put tablespoon ful in a glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for q week. This is helpful to neutralize acidity. remove body waste also to stimulate the kidneys, thus helping to rid the blood of these rheumatic poisons
