The Latter Usually Caused by the For.

ner, Which, in Turn, Has Its
Origin in Intestinal Indigestion.
Chronic constipation is a disease
which is about as prevalent as dyspep-
STA and indigestion. Nearly every one
suffers from it occasionally, but there
are millions of people who endure 1t
habitually, and who are accustomed
to resort to the use of laxatives and
cathartics daily.
Many people seemed to have devel-
oped perfect mania for taking pills.
and instead of trying to ascertain The
lattnt cause of the disease, and reihov-
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 oe-
ours, which reaches the appendix, aud
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 ma

The idea that appendicitis is brought
on by foreign bodies. such as seeds,
etc, becoming lodged in the appendix
is an exploded theory 1t is nov def

most prolific cause OF this dread dis

previously induced by Intestinal inii

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 disease of this sor.
and those who make frequent or regu
lar use of them will, sooner or later.

the intestinal system.
A person with frst-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.
