Is Doing for Humanity

Under our present mode of living
the large intestine Cor colon) cannot
get rid of all the waste that it ac-
-cumulates-so it clogs up, and then
biliousness, constipation is the result,
and that lack of desire to do, to
work, to think.
This waste in the colon, as we all
know, is extremely poisonous, and if
neglected the blood takes up the
poisons-and brings on countless
very serious diseases-appendicitis is
directly caused by waste in tie colon.
If the colon is kept clean and pure
you will always feel bright and capa-
ble-never blue and nervous-always
up to .'concert-pitch."
There is just one Internal Bath
which will keep the colon as sweet
and clean as nature demands it to be
for perfect health-that is, the ]. B.
