+ RHEUMATIC
 BEGIN ON SALTS
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry, Avoid
 Exposure, Eat No Sweets.

Stay off the damp ground avoid exposure, keep feet dry, eat no sweets of any kind for while, drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful of lad Salts occasionally to help keep down urlc and toxic acids.
 Rheumatism is Gaused by poison toxins, called acids, which are gen. erated in the bowsIs and absorbed into the blood. It Is the function of the kidneys 10 filter this acid from the blood and cast 1t out + 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 dou- ble work; they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this poison, 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 lad Salts; put a table, spoonful in glass of water and drink before breakfast each morn ing for week. This is helpful to neutralize acidity, remove body waste also to stimulate the kidneys, thus helping 10 rid the blood of these rheumatic poisons.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used with excellent results by 1 thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism.
