CONSTIPATION AND
APPENDICITIS
The Latter Usually Caused by the
Former, Which, I'm Turn, Has It's
Origin in Intestinal Indigestion.

Chronic constipation is a disease
which is about as prevalent as dys-
pepsia and indigestion. Nearly every
one suffers from 1t occasionally, but
there are millions Of people who en-
dure 1t habitually, and who are ac-
customed to resort to the use OF laxa-
tlves and cathartics daily.
Many people seemed to have de-
veloped a perfect mania for taking
pills, and instead of trying to ascer-
tin the latent cause of the disease
and removing It by appropriate treat
ment they are content to continue
the reckless use of laxatives, aper-
tents, drastic cathartics and violent
purgatives, until finally Inflammation
of the bowels occurs, which reaches
the appendix and the result is appen-
dicitis.
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 long-standing gas
tro-intestinay indigestion.
The idea that appendicitis is
brought on by foreign bodies, such
as seeds, etc, becoming lodged in the
appendix, is an exploded theory. II is
now definitely known that constipa-
tion Is the most prolific cause OF this
dread disease. while the constipation
Itself is previously induced by intes-
tinal Indigestion, or amylaceous dys-
pepsia-the inability TO digest star
ches--so the relation between cause
and effect is readily seen and appre-
clated.
The absurdity of attempting to
cure constipation by the use OF ply
sic should be apparent TO every one
Laxative drugs and powerful purga-
tives 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 in1ammatory
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 laxatives,
candy cathartics etc, use a 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
developing appendicitis will be re-
duced to the minimum.

intestinal indigestion.
