Rhcumatium h easier to avoid than to cure, states a well-known authority. We arc advised to dress warmly; keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; cat less neat, but drink plenty of good water. Rheumatism is a direct result of ratine too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acin wnicn is lbsorhed into the blood. It is the 'unction of the kidneys to filter this cid from the blood and cast it out in .he 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 arc closed hus forcing the kidneys to do double ;ork, they become weak and sluggish .nd fail to eliminate the uric acid vhich keeps accumulating and circulat ng through the system, eventually set ling in the joinu and muscles causing tiftness, soreness and pain called rncu .atism. At the first twinge of rheumatism ret from any pharmacy about four ninces of Jad Salts ; put a tablcspoon ul in a glass of water and drink before ireakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by .uimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and :r. made from the acid of grapes and iemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by thou sands of folks who are subject to rheu matism. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-water drink which helps overcome uric acid and is bene fui'tl to wiur kidneys as well. iO YOU WANT your friends to avoid you? They J will certainly do so when your breath is bad. There is no excuse for anyone having a bad breathy It is caused by disorders of the stomach which can be corrected by taking Chamberlain's Tablets. Many have been permanently cured of stomach troubles by the use of these tablets after years of suffering. Price 25 cents per bottle.
