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 dyspep-
STA and indigestion. Nearly every one
suffers from 1t occasionally, but there
are millions of people who endure 1t
habltually, and who are accustomed
to resort to the use of laXatives and
carthartics daily
Many people seemed to have devel-
oped a perfect mania for taking pills,
and instead of trying to ascertain the
latent cause of the disease, and remOv-
ing ii by appropriate treatment, they
are content to continue the reckless
use of laxatives, aperients, drastic
cathartics and violent purgatives, until
finally inflammation of the bowels oc-
ours, which reaches the appendix, and
the result is appendicitis.
In investigating and tracing the
causative factors of constipation and
it's frequent sequel, appendicitis. 1t mas
been noted by physicians that the ma
jority of cases were preceded and ac-
companied 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 det-
nitely known that constipation is the
most prolific cause Of this dread dis
ease, while the constipation itself is
previously induced by intestinal fndi-
gestion, or amylaceous dyspepsia-the
inability to digest starches--so the re-
iat:on between cause and erect is
readily seen and appreciated.
The absurdity of attempting to cure
constipation by the use of phySic
should be apparent to every one. Lax
alive drugs and powerful purgatives
win never cure a disease of this sort,
and those who make frequent or regu-
90 mil 1d5a
set up an inhamnlatory 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 carthartics, etc. use a remedy
which will cure the castro intestinal
indigestion, and you will find that the
constipation no longer bothers you
and with it's removal, the risk of de-
veloping appendicitis will be reduced
10 the minimum.

Gus cases of constipation, by first cur
