RHEUMATISM PAINS ARE NOWIN SEASON Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states a well-known authority. We are advised to dress warmly, keep the 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 fermentation. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this poison rrom the blood and cast ij out in tho urine; the pores of the slrm are also a means of freeing the I of this impurity. In damp and eh 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 waste and acids, which keeps accumulating 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 any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is helpful to neutralize acidity, remove waste matter, also to stimulate the kidneys, thus often ridding the blood of rheumatic poison. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is vised with excellent results l>y thousands of folkjj who are subject to rheumatism.—^Yvertisement.
