Habitat constipation is not only
one Of the most unpleasant, but at
the same time one Of the most in
furious conditions Of the human
system, and is but a forerunner Of
disease, unless removed. This is
usually accomplished by the use
Of purgatives, which for the time
afford relief, but after their imme-
date effects have passed they leave
the system in a worse state than
before. To effect a cure il isneces-
sary that the remedy used should
be one that not only its cathartic
