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

Chronic constipation is a disease which
is about as prevalent as dyspepsia and i'll
digestion, Nearly every one suffers from
it occasionally, but there are millions of
people who endure it habitually. and who
are accustomed TO resort 70 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 or laXatiycs
apeTients, drastic cathartics and violent
purgatiVes, 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 fire.
quent sequel, appendicitis. it has been
noted by physicians that the majority OF
cases were preceded and accompanied by
a long-standing gastro-tntestnal 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
constipation itself IS previously induced
by intestinal indigestion, or amylaceOus
dyspepsia-the inability to digest starches
SO the relation between cause and effect
Is readily seen and appreciated
The absurdity Of attempting to cure
constipation by the use Of phystC should
be apparent 70 every one. Laxative drugs
and powerful pUTgatives will never cure
a disease Of this sort, and those who
make frequent or regular use or them
viii, sooner OF later, set up an iHflamma-
tory condition Of the intestinal system.
A person with fiTst-Class digestion Will
never be annoyed with chronic cOnstipa-
ton, and when this trouble does exist.
instead Of smuggling the system with pills,
liquid laxatives, candy cathartics, etc,
use q remedy which will cure the CASTRO
intestinal Indigestion. and YOU will find
that the constipation no longer bOthers
you, and with its removal, the risk Of
developing appendicitis viii be reduced to
the minimum.
