Get Rid of . Toxlo Acid. Rheumatism is no respecter of age, sex, color or rank. If not thea most dangerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful. Those subject to rheumatism should eat no sweets for awhile, dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure and above all, drink lots of pure water. Rheumatism is caused by uric acid or body waste matter, and is often gen erated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this poison from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin arc 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 elimi nate this toxic acid, which keeps ac cumulating 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 anv pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a glass or water ana annit iciore ureatt fast each morning for a week. This is helpful to neutralize acidity, remove waste and stimulate the kidneg. thus helping to rid tne Diooa oi tnese rneu matie ooisons. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is mada from the acB) ot grapes ana lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism.
