CONSTIPATION AND
 APPENDICITIS
The Latter Usually Caused By the Former, Which, In Turn, Has Its
 Origin in Intestinal Indigestion

Chronic constipation is a disease which is about as prevalent as dys- pepsia and indigestion. Nearly every Jne suffers from it occasionally, but there are millions of people who en- dure it habitually, and who are ac- customed to resort to the use of lax atives and cathartics daily. Many people seem to have developed perfect mania for taking pills, and instead of trying to ascertain the latent cause of the disease. and re- moving it by appropriate treatment they are content to continue the reck- less use of laxatives. aperients. drastic cathartics and violent purgatives un- til inflammation of the bowels occurs, which reaches the appendix. and the result is appendicitis.
 In Investigating and tracing the causative factors of constipation. and its frequent sequel. appendicitis, it has been noted by physicians that the majority of cases were preceded and accompanied by a long standing gas | tro:intestinal indigestion,
 The idea that appendicitis is brought on by foreign bodies, such as seeds, etc. becoming lodged in the appendix. is an exploded theory. It is now definitely known that constipa- tion is the most prolific cause of this dread disease, while the consti- patton itself is previously induced by | intestinal indigestion. or amylaceous dyspepsia-the inability to digest starches-so the relation between cause and effect is readily seen and appreciated.
 The absurdity of attempting to cure constipation by the use of physiC should be apparent to every one. Lax ative drugs and powerful purgatives will never cure a disease of this sort and those who make frequent or reg ular use of them will. sooner or later set up an inflammatory condition of the intestinal system.
 A person with first class digestion
 will never be annoyed with chronic constipation. and when this trouble does exist, instead of slugging the system with pills. liquid laxatives candy cathartics, etc, nse a remedy
 which can cure the gastro-intestinal Tn digestion and you will find that the constipation no longer bothers you and with its renewal, the risk of de- veloping appendicitis will be reduced to the minimum.
