GREAT REJOICING BY
RHEUMATIC CRIPPLES
If So Crippled You Can"' IV irmsj
or Leg's Rheunia Will Help You
or Nothing to l'ay
If you want relief in 'wo days, I
swift, certain, gratifying relief, take-J
one-half teaspoonful of Rheuma |
once a day.
If you want to dissolve every par
ticle of uric acid poison in your body
and drive it out through the natural
channels so that you will be forever
free from rheumatism, get a 50-cent
bottle of Rheuma from H. C. Ken- ;
nedy or any druggist to-day.
Rheumatism is a powerful disease j
strongly entrenched In joints and
muscles. In order to conquer it a
powerful enemy must be sent against
it. Rheuma is the enemy of rheuma
tism—an enemy that conquers it ev
ery time.
Judge John Barliorst of Ft. Ix>r
amie, Ohio, knows it. He was walk
in? with crutches; to-day he is well.
It should do as much for you; it sel
dom falls.—Adv.
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.
