Rheinffotistn is easier to avoid thanto cure, states a well-known authority We are advised to dress warmly, keep ’ tic feet dry. avoid exposure, and above all. drink plenty of good water and avoid eating sweets of all kind. Rheumatism is caused by body' waste and acids resulting from food tei mentation. It is the function of >hc kidneys to filter this poisod 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 th<> kidneys to do double work; they I - become weak and sluggish and fail | to eliminate this waste and acids, which keeps accumulating and circu- ' taring through the system, eventually | settling in the points aud muscles, causing stiffness, soreness and pain, 1 called rheumatism. | At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ' . ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon- i L fill in a glass of water and drink be- 4 fore breakfast each morning for a week. This is helpful to neutralize ■ acidity, remove waste matter, also to r stimulate the kidneys, thus often rid- ' ding the blood of rheumatic poison, i Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and ■ lemon juice, combined with lithia. | . and is used *ith excellent results by th"iisan<ls of folks who are subject to • rlo-uiuatisni. n jhu i ■ ii ii hi 11 —rewWMMUB I WELCOME MOOSE Tuesday Evening Regular Meeting • , MOOSE HOME , Third Street
