If not the 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 1s often generated 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 are 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 becomeweak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this toxic acid, 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 table-spoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week.

This is helpful to neutralise acidity, remove waste and stimulate the kidneys, thus helping to rid the blood of these rheumatic poisons Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with litiiia, and is used with excellent result." by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism.
