Constipation.
We take up this subject because OF it
importance. Demnged digestion AM
indigestion, have been the bane OF man
Of us, and in the majority OF cases ha
been caused by the sluggish action q
the bowels. The idle as well as tn,
busy complain OF this trouble. Mos
people move only y small portion Of TIN
bowel daily, and that only of the lowe
bowel. In order to preserve ones healtl
one should have at least one stool pc
day. Regularity rs regards time mucf
assists the daily evacuation, and it il
very desirable that every one ShoulC
acquire such regularity. 1t matters not
what time, one time is as good as another
but at the same time every day is tho
idea. Regular habits, which are in fac,
easily acquired are very important
Many small ailments and troubles o.
various Kinds will almost certainly re-
suit from careIcssness in this particular
II a person lives upon highly nutritious
diet, such as very strong soup or po,,rd
meat, he may find that his bowels will
soon become obstinately constipatcd. H.
now, he adds to tii, a quantity OF amy
laccnus and soft vegetable matter, which
in itself possesses very little nutrItivc
matter, he will find that the action OF
the boWc.s becomes more satisfactory.
The proportion OF nutriment in bread
and potatoes is small AS compared with
that existing in fat meat. Tie mixture
OF nutritious and nutritious matter
Is important in ones diet Lastly. the
action may be perfectly regular, and the
powers of the bowel sufficient
to eXptl the contents, but owing to the
formation OF very sufficient quantity of
cNcrmtltlous lnattcr the bowel is sc-
dom excited to act, and the person sufi

his HE. with the most troublesome form
Of constipation. You will find that pco-
pie who suffer from this condition,
lhoug h they may have regular but
luantltively deficient action, complain
II certain unpleasant sensations. There
is no organic disease. Nevertheless. the
almost constant discomfort many ii
.hesc people have to endure i, really
great; and not onl Y 50, but various more
