One of the most harrassing of trou-
bies, though fortunately not fatal is
constipation, and millions Of people
suffer with it from infancy to old age.
Its cause may be traced TO any one of
a dozen different circumstances of
diet, environment and even birth.
Millions are practically born with
constipation. Had they used intelligent
methods at the beginning perhaps they
would have found relief but they had
the usual misfortune of bad advice.
They tried dieting, stewed fruits, then
laxative waters, then pills and various
other cathartics, and so in the end
made matters worse. But there is still
hope, even for the seemingly hopeless.
