NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Some Advice Against the Use of
Harsh Purgatives and
Physics.

A doctors first question when con-
suited by a patient is, Are your
bowels regulaF?" He knows that SS
per cent of illness is attended with in
active bowels and torpid liver. This
condition poisons the system with
waste matter and causes accumula.-
ton OF gases which must be removed
through the bowels before health can
be. restored.
Salts. ordinary pills and cathartics
may be truly lil1ened to dynamite.
Through their harsh, irritating action
they force a passage through the
bowels, causing pain and damage to
the delicate intestinal structure which
weakens the whole system, and at
best only produces temporary relief
The repeated use of such treatments
cause chronic irritation Of the ston-
ach and bowels, dries and hardens
their tissues, deadens their nerves,
stiffens their muscles and generally
brings about an injurious habit which
sometimes has almost, IL not fatal re-
suits.
