nner, Which, in Turn, Has Its
Origin in Intestinal Indigestion.
Chronic constipation is disease
which is about as prevalent as dyspep-
STA and Indigestion. Nearly every one
suffers from it occasionally, but there
are millions of people who endure 1t
habitually, and who are accustomed
to resort to the use of laSatives Ani
cathartics daily.
Many people seemed to have devel-
oped a perfect mania for taking pills.
and instead OF trying TO ascertain the
lattnt cause of the disease. and remov
Ing it by appropriate treatment, they
are content TO continue the reckless
use Of laxatives, aperients, drastic
cathartics and violent purgatives, unit

ours, which reaches the appendix, aad
the result is appendicitis.
In investigating and tracing the
causative factors OF constipation and
hts frequent sequel. appendicitis. it has
been noted by physicians that the ma
jority of cases were preceded and ac-
oompanied by a long standing gastro-
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. 1t is now def
nitely known that constipation IS the
most prolific cause of this dread dis
ease, while the constipation itself is
previously induced by intestinal in1i
gestion, or amylaceous dySpepsia-the
inability to digest starches--so the re-
lation BETWEEN cause and effect Is
readily seen and appreciated.
The absurdity OF attempting 10 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 sor,,
and those who make frequent or regu-
lar use of them will, sooner or Later.
set up an in1ammatory 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 smuggling the
system with pills, liquid laxatives,
candy cathartics, etc. use a rem edy
which will cure the ro-intestinal
indigestion, and you viii find thar the
constipation no longer bothers you,
and with it's removal the risk of de-
veloping appendicitis will be reduced
TO the minimum.
