SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES.

Bran Treatment for Constipation
The number of people suffering from
constipation is legion, but in most
cases the disorder is merely function
al. The peristalsis of the intestine,
that is, the muscular contraction and
relaxation Of the tube pushing the con-
tents onward, has become weakened.
Get from your grocer a ten-cent
package of dry, unlocked bran, cured
of the bitter taste peculiar to bran
in its original state. Take one-lalt
teacup moistened with a little water
every night; in a stubborn case, re-
Pelt dose in morning. The bran pro-
duces friction, or a scratching process
which gives tone to the lazy intestine.
In a weeks time your system will be
responding naturally to this whole
some food and the drug habit forgot
ten.
To Relieve Toothache-Toothac
can be greatly relieved by bathing
gums and cavity with vinegar as hot
as can be borne.
