Constipation and

Nearly every one suffers from 1t occasionally.
but there are millions Of people who endure 1T

The idea that appendicitis is brought on by

while the constipation itself is previously in
duced by intestinal indigestion. amylaceous

The absurdty Of attempting to cure constipa-

every one. Laxative drugs and powerful purga-
tiyes will never cure a disease of this SORT and
