Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states a well-known author- ity. We are advised to dress warmly; keep the feet dry; avold 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 thé 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 nalso 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 the wuric acid which keeps accumulating and circu- lating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing _stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of sheumatism 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 sald to eliminate uric acld by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impuritnes. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used with excellent resuits by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas- ant, effervescent _lithia-water drink Wwhich helps overcome urlo acid, and is beneflolal to your kidneys as well. DR. A. J.
