mored. Jollity and exhuberant health
are proverbial combination. The hearty
man who is always laughing doesn't
have any trouble with his digestion, II
has been said that laughing makes peo-
pie healthy. The truth is that health
makes people laugh.
There isn't any other thing so essential
to health as regularity in the action of
the bowels. Most all sickness starts with
some arrangement of the digestive func-
tons. Good digestion means good, pure
blood, and that means strength. Once
let the bowels become clogged with
refuse matter, and the whole system is
deranged. Impure, poisonous matter
gets into the blood and plants the seeds
for all sorts of sickness.
Whenever there is stoppage of the
intestinal action, help should be given
immediately. Usually a mild, gentle
laxative is all that is necessary. A vio-
lent wrenching, gripping cathartie is
never needed. DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
