Constipation and
 Appendicitis
The Latter Usually Caused By The Former, Which, In Turn, Has Its
 Origin In Intestinal Indigestion.

Chronic constipation is disease which is about as prevalent as dyspep- sia and indigestion. Nearly every one suffers from it occasionally, but there are millions of people who endure it habitually, and who are accustomed to resort to the use of laxatives and carthartics daily.
 Many people seemed to have devel- oped q perfect mania for taking pills, and instead of trying to ascertain the latent 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, until finally inflammation of the bowels oc- CUTS, which reaches the appendix, and the result is appendicitis.
 In investigating and tracing the causative factors of constipation and it's frequent sequel, appendicitis it has 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 It is now defi- nitely known that constipation is the most prolific cause of this dread dis ease, while the constipation itself is previously induced by intestinal indi- 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 to 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 sort, and those who make frequent or regu- lar use of them will, sooner or later, set up an infiammatory 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 slugging the system with pills, liquid 1axatives, candy carthartics, etc, use a remedy which will cure the tro-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 to the minimum.
 STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS have been the means of curing numer- % ous cases of constipation, by first cur ing the intestinal 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 diges- tives, they also contain diastase, which converts starch into sugar, and readily cures amylaceous dyspepsia and intes- tinal indigestion
 If you are suffering from dyspepsia, constipation, and, in fact, indigestion of any kind, don't run the risk of get ting appendicitis. but strike at the root of the trouble-the original cause by using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which will quickly rid you of all functional disorders of the ailmentary tract.
