BOWEL Disbursements,

The Danger of the Affection and Its Most
Natural Treatment.
That the worst forms of bowel COM
plants result, and that directly, from
eating and drinking, far more than from
climate and sudden changes of the
temperature, can not admit of reason
able doubt. Most Of this indigestion is
referable to rapid eating, insufficient
chewing, the food, as it reaches the stom-
ach, being unprepared for the second
stage OF the d gestiYe process, from the
use of improper food, that too taxing to
the digestive organs, the use of crude
and unripe, or partially decayed fruits,
to irregularity in eating, excess, etc.
And here it may be remarked that it is
rare while so many are governed far
more by mere taste, than by the judg-
ment and conscience, in the selection of
their food, to have due regard to the
proper proportion of the various kinds of
food used, while the majority take far
more food than the system demands
This may. be particularly true in the
use OF meats and fruits in country in
which both can be had in abundance,
ordinarily, if one has the means for the
purchase of them. While it is gener-
ally admitted-in modern times-that
ripe and fresh fruits are wholesome,
these may be particularly used in ex-
cess, often proving a curse rather than
a blessing, in accordance with their de-
sign. This follows, in part, from the
fact that some persons regard them as
outside the realm of food, to be taken
at any time, in any quantities, as a
mere sensual indulgence. Instead of
being taken as part of the meals, they
are often taken in large quantities, at
the close, in addition to sufficient
quantity of food, and between meals,
severely taxing the digestive organs.
Though most of these are easy OF di-
gestion, compared with ordinary foods,
there is an added labor, too often crush
ing tolls, so deranging the stomach that
much undigested food passes into the
bowels in an unprepared state, irritat-
ing and infiaming them, preparing the
way for serious arrangements and
disease. a

foods, with no irritants introduced into
the bowels, often cleansed by warm
water injections, the disease ought soon
to yield. -Df. ]. sH Hama ford. IN Gold
