Various causes can he attributed to
the stomach and abdominal disorders
which are No prevalent to-day. II can
safely be said that one OF the greatest

How few women have proper digcs.

gcstion Is the imperfect removal, both
OF waste and OF residual.
Since motion OF the organs IL nee.
essary part OF their function. no res
torntion OF digestive power Is possible
that does not also include the rcstora
tion OF this mechanical or muscular
property.
Many motions may be given to ones
digestive organs suited TO different
constitutions. conditions OF disease
development OF the region. strength oi
the individual. etc. The following ex.
erciscs have been carefully selected
which. n not entirely applicable for n
given case. may prove suggestive OF
some other that may act more to the
purpose.
The first exercise Is given In n
standing position. the body slightly
bent forward. with corscts and all
fight.fitting clothes removed. The nc.
ton is. the extended hands are made
TO strike the frontal regions OF the
body. striking alternately with each
hand with such force and speed as 20

II there be point where pain is
felt. the acuon. at each successive ex.
crcise. should for n period be given to
surrounding parts. approaching the
tender part gradually until the pain
disappears.
The above may be continued until
the entire frontal region has been
traversed. and repeated as often as
one deems practical.
a more vigorous treatment may be
given by using the doubled fist instead
OF the fiat hand in striking. However.
81 is better TO begin by using the open
hand.
This treatment Is an unusually good
one TO assist in promoting absorption.

Another good action TO indulge IL
while occupyin. this position Is. with
your two hands strongly clenched
press upon the abdomen firmly. causing
the snbjacent parts to yield TO the
pressure. This action may be con,in'
ucd for several minutes over the
whole region Of the abdomen. This
action cScites the muscular contrac
tility .: the tube.
Another action having tho same cf.
feet rs the above Is: With the pres.
sure Of the hands. follow tho course Of
the colon. beginning low upon iha
around beneath the stomach. and ter
minating on the side opposite. This
circular stroking may be continued fo'
several minutes. Follow this move
mcnt with the pressure exercise under
the short ribs. The ends OF the fingers
are applied from below. and strong
pressure made with trcmulous mo
tion. This exercise cNcitcs muscular
and nervous action In the organs

rhe second exercise Is one taken
while occupying n knccling position.
The arms are In an angle position

The knees are wide apart. and tho
trunk leaning back from the pcrpen.

The arms are slowly stretched up,
wards until they become parallel with
each other. and In line with tho
body. Retain this position for n short
timc-thcn allow them to slowly re-
turn TO the commencing position.
Repeat this action ten or twelve
times. using care that the arms are
stretched so that they are exactly in
line with the reclining trunk.
This exercise may be varied. when
the arms are stretched. by permitting
the trunk to lean us far back Us posi-.
