A certain Somerset vicar made him
self notorious by the vigor with which
In the seventeenth century he inveigh
ed against the use of the newly invent
ed optic glasses, since they perverted
vision and made all things appear In
an unnatural and therefore a false
light. Microscopes and telescopes, with
their array of lenses. he declared b be
impostors. since a man could not see
so well with two pairs OF spectacles as
with one. Some asserted it to be sinful
to assist the eyes, which were adapted
by Providence to the capacity of the
individual, whether good, bad or indif-
ferent. at was argued that society at
large would become demoralized by the
use of spectacles. They would give
one man an unfair advantage over his
fellow and every man an unfair ad-
vantage over every woman, who could
not be expected on aesthetic and intel
lectual grounds to adopt the practice"

Osteopathy
CONSTIPATION AND ITS CURE

The causes of constipation are i'm
proper diet, lack of exercise, perni-
cious drugs and pressure OF bones,
muscles or ligaments on the nerves
to the digestive tract.
The treatment in the first three in
stances is evident. Correct the habits.
Just as evident is II In the last. Re-
move the pressure from the nerves.
This Is accomplished by the osteopath
through the replacement OF slightly
displaced vertebrae, ribs or pelvis
bones; by relaxing contractured
muscles and stretching thickened lig-
aments. The nerves are then frwee to
carry the normal nerve force to the
intestines. The glands resume their
secretions for the digestion and mois-
tening OF the food: and intestinal
motion is regained, propelling the
contents onward. This is q natural
state and consequently permanet
state. If your body wa sonce right 1t
will now be right again. Natures
way is the only way. Osteopathy's
success in curing this trouble certain
ly makes modest any claims Il may
advance.
What is here said Of constipation 10
applicable to all digestive disturban-
ces. The causes are similar and the
treatment 10 always remove the cause.
