CONSTIPATION.

The causes Of constipation are uni
versally considered to be, the follow,
ing: Constitutional peculiarities. an
emia. neurasthenia, chronic affec-..
tions Of the liver, stomach, and in-.
testines. acute fevers, drug taking,
mechanical conditions, such as tun-
OTIS. obesity, structures. ETC.. which are
made worse BY improper food and
habits.
You are all familiar with the usual,
treatment Of constipation and know
how unsatisfactor it is. The reason
for this is obvious. Look ut tho
causes. They are all constitutional
states. II the rest Of the organs were
functionating property the bowels
would also. How can cathartics.
massage, diet, etc, which merely
stimulate the bowels, reach the cause
back Of the constipation? Such meas.
ures can at their best, give but tenn
porary relief and, the reaction after
the first relief, is opposite to tho dc.
sired one. So. f..
Homeopathy. however. goes back Of
the one system, constipation to the
cause and removes that. 1t cures the
individual and In this way cures the
