KEEP URIG 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. 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 a 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 become weak »nd sluggish and fail to eliminate urtc acid, which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles, causing stiff ness. soreness and pain called rheu matism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon ful in a glass of water and drink be fore breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric juid by stimulating the kidneys to nor mal 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 litliia, and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism, liere you have a pleas ant. effervescent litliia-water drink which helps overcome uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well.— Adv.
