chronic constipation Is n disease
which Is about as prevalent as dys-
pepsia and indigestion. Nearly every
one suffers from It occasionally. but
there are millions of people who en-
dure II habitually, and who are ac-
customed to resort to the use of lax
atives and cathartics daily.
Many people seemed to have de-
veloped a perfect mania for taking
pills, and. instead of trying to as
certain the latent cause of the dis
ease, and remove It by appropriate
treatment, they are content to con-
tinue the reckless use of laxatives,
aDerients, drastic cathartics and
violent purgatives, until finally in
fiammation of the bowels occurs,
which reaches the appendix, and the
result is appendicitis.
In investigating and tracing the
causative factors of constipation
and its frequent sequel appendicitis.
It has been noted by physicians that
the majority of cases were preceded
and accompanied by q 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.
IL is now definitely known that con-
stipation is the most prolific cause
OF this dread disease, while the con-
stipation itself is previously induced
by intestinal indigestion. or amyia-
ceous dyspepsla-the inability to
digest starches-so the relation be-
tween 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. Laxatiyes, drugs and powerful
purgatives will never cure a disease
OF this sort. and those who make FIRE
