HOT WEATHER AND
CONSTIPATION.

There is a close connection between
hot weather and constipation. People
do not seem to understand this, and
even doctors are slow in comprehend
ing it.
Constipation depends mainly on dry
ness of the bowels. During the hot
weather the fluids of the body are
drained away in perspiration. Unless
considerable extra fluid is drunk, the
internal organs are deprived of their
usual amount of fluid. The fluids
usually used by the bowels to keep the
contents moist, are absorbed into the
blood and evaporated on the surface of
the body, to COOL the body during the
hot weather. Hence, constipation.
1t is very unfortunate indeed, for any
one to be obliged to take drastic cathar-
tics to relieve constipation. OF course
drastic cathartics will clean out the
bowels, but the habit of constipation
remains just the same. Even little
worse.
If a mild and gentle stimulant of the
bowels is used, combined with tonic
that has the double effect of stimulating
The natural peristaltic action of the
bowels, as well as attracting to the
bowels the necessary portion of fluids,
if such a remedy could be devised it
would be of great value to the people
during the hot weather.
1t is believed that Peruna comes
nearer to being a perfect remedy in this
particular than any other popular
household remedy. Taken according
20 the directions OH the bottle, it not
only Increases the appetite and gives
strength to the nervous system, but it
produces a slight action of the bowels,
overcoming constipation without pro-
ducing a cathartic action.
We are in receipt of great many Lett
tiers confirming the statements made
above. One will suffice for illustration
Mr.. William Eckert, 273 North Eight
zenith St., Colum bus, Ohio, writes:
81 have been afflicted with chronic
constipation for twenty-five years.
"About six months ago l was feeling
badly, and concluded to use Peruna as
tonic. To my surprise, before had
finished the first bottle of Peruna /
noted that my bowels were moving
regularly, without any physic. From
that time to this my constipation has
disappeared. Peruna has not only built
me up, but it has cured me of chronic
constipation"
