Constipation And
 Appendicitis
The Latter Usually Caused By The Former, Which, In Turn, Has It's
 Oriuln In intestinal lndiQestion.

Chronic constipation is disease which is about as prevalent as dyspepsia and indigestion. Nearly every one suffers from it occasionally, but there arc millions of people who endure 1t habitually, and who are accustomed to resort to the use of laxatives and cathartics daily.
 Many people seemed to have developed a perfect mania for taking pills, and in stead of trying to ascertain the latent cause of the disease, and removing it by appropriate treatment, they are content to continue the reckless use of laxatives. aperients drastic cathartics and violent purgstives, until finally inflammation of the bowels occurs, which reaches the ap- pendix, and the result is appendicitis.
 In Investigating and tracing the causa- tive factors of constipation and its fre- ouent sequel, appendicitis, 1t has been noted by physicians that the majority of cases were preceded and accompanied by a long-standing gastro-intestinal indiges- ton.
 The idea that appendicitis is brought on by foreign bodies, such as seeds, etc, be- coming lodged in the appendix Is an ex- ploded theory. It is now definitely known that constipation is the most prolific cause of this dread disease, while the constipa- ton itself is previously induced by in- testinal indigo stion, or amylaceous dys- pepsia-the inability to digest starches- so the relation between cause and effect is readily seen and appreciated
 The absurdity of attempting to cure con- stipation by the use of physic should be apparent to every one. Laxative drugs and powerful purgatives will never cure a disease of this sort. and those who make frequent or regular use of them will, sooner or later, set up an inflamna- tory condition of the intestinal system
 A person with first-class digestion will never be annoyed with chronic constipa- tion, and when this trouble does exist. instead of slugging the system with pills, liquid laxatives, candy cathartics, etc., use remedy which will cure the gastro- intestinal indigestion, and you will find that the constipation no longer bothers you. and with its removal, the risk of de- veloping appendicitis will be reduced to the minimum.
 STUARTS DYSPEPSIA TABLETS have been the means of curing numerous cases of constipation, by first curing the in- testinal indigestion. They digest every kind of food, a single grain being capable of digesting 5000 grains of alimentum and in addition to pepsin and other powerful digestives, they also contain diastase, which converts starch into sugar, and readily cures amylaceous dyspepsia and intestinal indigestion.
 If you are suffering from dyspepsia, constipation, and, in fact, indigestion of any kind, don't run the risk of getting appendicitis. but strike at the root of the trouble--the original cause-by using Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets which will quick ly rid you of all functional disorders of the alimentary tract.
