Salt.

Constipation or costiveness is inability
to secure free action of the bowels. When
a free and copious action of the bowels
does not occur at least once day, con-
stipation is present. If not attended to it
is likely to grow worse instead of better.
Whatever may be the immediate cause
of constipation, indigestion is always the
foundation of it, as it is of many other dis
eases. To cure constipation then the d.
gestive organs must be brought back to a
healthy condition.
