How to Exercise the
 Bowels

Your lntestines are lined inside with millions of little suckers, that draw the Nutrition out of food as if passes them.
 But, If the food passes too slowly. 1t decays before if gets through. Then the little suckers draw Poison from it instead of Nutrition.
 This Poison makes Gas that injures your system more than the food should have nourished It.
 You see. the food is Ncurishment or Poison. just according to how long is stays in tranSit

They do not waste any precious fluid of the Bowels, as Cathartics do.
 They do not relax the Intestines by greasing them inside like Castor oil or Clycerine.
 They simply stimulate the Bowel Muscles to do their work naturally, com foriabIy, and nutritiously.
 And, the Exercise these Bowel Muscles are thus forced to take. makes them stronger for the future. just as Exercise makes your arm stronger.
