MANY GASES OF RHEUMAT SM NOW Says We Must Keep Feet Dry, Avoid Exposure and Eat Less Meat. | Stay oft the damp ground, avoid exposure. keep feet dry, eat less • meat, drink lots of water and above jail take a. spoonful of salts occasion j ally to keep down uric acid. Rheumatism is caused by poison ous toxin, called uric acid, which Is | generated in the bowels and ab sorbed into the blood. It is the func i son 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 and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accumu lating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheuma tism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a table spoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to elimi nate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus rid ding the blood of these impurities. Jad Salts is Inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with llthia and is used with excellent re sults by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent llthla water drink which overcomes uric acid and is beneficial to your kid neys as well.—Adv.
